holiday policy rules

[CRO0104576]

hi there i am looking to go away with my support next year are we allowed in the same room at any hotel

I believe as things stand now if your in a bubble with your support then yes but if your from different households no. It also depends on the area you live in as the tier systems apply. I think I would ask the organisation that provides your support for clarity on this. Because the rules are constantly changing no-one really knows what the situation will be next year.

Hello

49Twister sums it up very well.

It really depends who you are staying with, where, and when.

If you are sharing a room with someone who lives with you, or who is part of your support bubble, you are ok for now as long as you are in England.

There are different rules in Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland, and there are also different rules in different part of England. It is very hard to keep up to date.

Some of the rules, in some areas, are also asking you to reduce your travelling. It is really important that you know what the rules are where you live, and where you are planning on going to.

You can find out the alert level using this postcode checker on the GOV.uk website - gov.uk/find-coronavirus-loc...

Have a look at Mencap's page about coronavirus here - mencap.org.uk/advice-and-su...

I have also just posted some easy read documents about the what you can do in different tiers in England here - healthunlocked.com/mencap/p...

This is changing all the time, so keep an eye on all the new rules.

I hope you are able to go away as planned, but do check first. It would be worth talking to any hotel you want to stay in to see what they suggest customers do.

Best wishes

Sarah
