Clinically Extremely Vulnerable (CEV) people
If you've been identified as Clinically Extremely Vulnerable (CEV), you will be contacted by the government advising on the extra precautionary measures in place during restrictions, including information about their new online registration service. By registering, you will be able to do the following:
- Request access to a priority supermarket delivery slot (if you already get priority supermarket deliveries, you will keep them)
- Check your details are up to date (such as your address)
- Notify us (your council) if you need support (especially if you are unable to arrange this yourself)
If you register and ask for support, we will be notified and will respond to you personally to offer appropriate services - if you haven’t registered yet, register now on GOV.UK
Community Wellbeing Hub
If you need help to register, you or someone acting on your behalf can contact our support centre, the Community Wellbeing Hub (previously known as the Compassionate Community Hub).
You don't need to wait to hear from us - if you need a little extra help, contact us direct.

Latest guidance
It's important that you follow the latest guidance on restrictions (check the government website for regularly updated information), and stay at home as much as possible except to go outdoors for exercise, or to attend essential health appointments. You are strongly advised to follow these extra precautionary measures to help keep yourself safe.
We know that this is a particularly difficult time for you and your family and want to reassure you that we're (this includes our partner organisations) here to support you.
