Win an Amazon voucher worth £100 with Get Yourself Active
Get Yourself Active (GYA) is working with Sense to find out how disabled people have been staying active during the coronavirus outbreak, what is helping to keep active, and if there is anything more that could support people to keep active during this time.
We have created a survey to help us to understand more about the experiences of disabled people, and people with long term health conditions, around staying active during the coronavirus outbreak. We will then be creating resources that reflect the views and experiences that have been shared through this survey, which will be useful for helping people to get and stay active during crises.
Get Yourself Active is giving out two amazon vouchers of £100 and £60, which will be given to two randomly selected participants.
Here is the link to the survey: https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/ZBD3TDD

Royal College of Paediatrics advice on shielding during COVID
The Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health has produced guidance for paediatricians and other health professionals. Children and young people should be advised to 'shield' during the COVID-19 outbreak, in order to protect those at very high risk of severe illness from coming into contact with the virus. It also provides frequently asked questions on how 'shielding' applies to children and families. The advice is there to help clinicians in their discussions with families around shielding in the UK.
