However, we recognise that the current restrictions may be making it harder to carry out these checks. There are provisions in the regulations for landlords to account for situations in which they cannot carry out inspections, however they must demonstrate they have taken all reasonable steps to comply with the law. Recognising the concern among landlords, residents and inspectors, on 7 April 2020, HSE published further guidance setting out detailed advice for a range of scenarios. This can be found here: <a href="https://gbr01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.gassaferegister.co.uk%2Fhelp-and-advice%2Fcovid-19-advice-and-guidance%2Flandlords%2F&amp;data=02%7C01%7CClaire.Robertson%40communities.gov.uk%7C76c952f33da647e6660b08d7f1a26777%7Cbf3468109c7d43dea87224a2ef3995a8%7C0%7C0%7C637243552124132138&amp;sdata=8HxveAZ9Eay1ayFIcvA0oIrBHQCPT%2Ba3IE8bahw9V7s%3D&amp;reserved=0" target="_blank">https://www.gassaferegister.co.uk/help-and-advice/covid-19-advice-and-guidance/landlords/</a></p><p>Our guidance is clear that no work should be carried out in any household which is isolating or where an individual is being shielded, unless the work is to remedy a direct risk to the safety of the household. Where entry is required for emergency repairs landlords should take every possible step to minimise contact with residents and follow government guidance on tradespeople working in people homes, which can be found at: <a href="https://gbr01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.gov.uk%2Fguidance%2Fsocial-distancing-in-the-workplace-during-coronavirus-covid-19-sector-guidance&amp;data=02%7C01%7CClaire.Robertson%40communities.gov.uk%7C76c952f33da647e6660b08d7f1a26777%7Cbf3468109c7d43dea87224a2ef3995a8%7C0%7C0%7C637243552124142095&amp;sdata=pGlG%2FpYu1kCBcTfbGMLZXXAbKFQXVvNAPnqAjSsC2Hg%3D&amp;reserved=0" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/guidance/social-distancing-in-the-workplace-during-coronavirus-covid-19-sector-guidance</a></p> answering member constituency Tamworth answering member printed Christopher Pincher question first answered 12/05/2020 11:51:21 answering member 4075 label Biography information for Christopher Pincher

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/05/2020 answer text <p>We have taken a number of steps to ensure the safety of vulnerable children, including ensuring that vulnerable children can continue to attend the education and childcare settings that are closed to the majority of children.</p><p>The vast majority of statutory duties remain unchanged. However, in light of the current pressures that the Covid-19 outbreak is bringing on social care services, and the risk of such pressures increasing, we have reviewed our regulations to allow some temporary and limited flexibility – to be used where absolutely necessary – to enable children's services to continue to support vulnerable children in the most effective and safest way during the outbreak.</p><p>Our starting point has been to make minimal changes to ensure the safe functioning of children’s social care during the Covid-19 outbreak. The department recently published updated guidance for children’s social care services that covers how the flexibilities provided in regulations should be used. The guidance can be found at: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/coronavirus-covid-19-guidance-for-childrens-social-care-services/coronavirus-covid-19-guidance-for-local-authorities-on-childrens-social-care#delivery-of-services" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/coronavirus-covid-19-guidance-for-childrens-social-care-services/coronavirus-covid-19-guidance-for-local-authorities-on-childrens-social-care#delivery-of-services</a>.</p><p>Amendments have been made to provide for extra flexibility in limited circumstances, but this should only be used when absolutely necessary, with senior management oversight and must be consistent with the overarching safeguarding and welfare duties that remain in place. The amendments will remain in place only for as long as they are needed.</p><p>Where it becomes necessary to use any of these flexibilities, it is important that this is properly recorded, along with the reasons for doing so. Where it is not necessary to make use of the flexibilities due to the current circumstances, they should not be used.</p><p>The department continues working with a wide range of stakeholders and the sector to ensure that the right support is available for frontline services during the crisis. The regulatory changes will be kept under continuous review and will expire on 25 September 2020 unless they are extended.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Chelmsford answering member printed Vicky Ford question first answered 12/05/2020 16:08:28 answering member 4674 label Biography information for Vicky Ford

The regulatory conditions that require Royal Mail to deliver letters 6 days a week as part of the universal postal service also provide that Royal Mail is not required to sustain these services without interruption, suspension or restriction in the event of an emergency.
