As part of our continued response to COVID19 the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014 (“the 2014 Regulations”) was updated and approved by Parliament. This meant that full COVID19 vaccination would become a condition of employment in all NHS roles which have face-to-face contact with patients and service users from 1 April 2022 unless exempt.

The Government subsequently announced that, given the changes to the Omicron variant, they believe it is no longer proportionate to mandate COVID-19 vaccinations for NHS staff. The Government’s decision is subject to Parliamentary process. This will require further consultation and a Parliamentary vote to be passed into legislation.

As this role is within scope of the current legislation COVID19 vaccination status will remain part of our routine Occupational Health check.

Feedback received about the current IST team:

After a YP with complex needs and well known to mental and social services deteriorated significantly, IST offered a prompt, efficient response to YP and her family, both over the phone and, soon afterwards, via an urgent visit. In addition, both before and after seeing the YP and family they liaised with the network at all times --- a great example of team-work and person-centred care!

Thank you for all of the support you have provided for my daughter, I really didn't think that this package would work but it has been completely different this time round and as a result my daughter has not ended up in hospital. Thank you all.

X from IST a is very responsive and good communicator with our team. We have valued X’s support and input in supporting some very vulnerable young people.
