Guidance on new stay at home regulations coming into effect on 5 January 2021.  Outdoor gatherings have been restricted to one-on-one meet-ups, and schools will close to most pupils until February at the earliest.

Home-Start West Lothian remains open for support, albeit in a different way.  Our office will not be open to the public at present however we are fully contactable via email.

Anyone supported by Home-Start West Lothian should contact their Family Support Coordinator by email or on their mobiles.

For any other Home-Start enquiries please contact manager@homestartwl.org.uk or admin@homestartwl.org.uk

To minimise the risk of spreading the virus, you must stay at home as much as possible.  By law, in a level 4 area, you can only leave your home (or garden) for an essential purpose.

There is a list of examples of reasonable excuses here

Although you can leave home for these purposes, you should stay as close to home as possible. Shop on-line or use local shops and services wherever you can. Travel no further than you need to reach to a safe, non-crowded place to exercise in a socially distanced way. To minimise the risk of spread of Coronavirus it is crucial that we all avoid unnecessary travel.
