How do I meet with a BSP Link Worker during Covid?
Ideally our BSP Link Workers will meet with clients in person, but during periods of increased Covid cases and changes in Public Health guidance, this is not always possible. We may request that client meetings with a BSP Link Worker take place by telephone, or on-line. If this is not possible or appropriate (for example it is the first meeting) BSP Link Workers can meet clients face-to-face.
