A recently published guide outlines personal protective equipment (PPE) advice for unpaid carers who do not live with the person they care for. Other unpaid carers
may also choose to use this guide. It should be used alongside local policies, where they exist, such as in care homes or day centres.
Unpaid carers, not living with the people they care for, can sign up to the PPE Portal to access free PPE for their COVID-19 needs. Care staff providing respite and
other services may wish to signpost this guidance to families and individuals with caring responsibilities
