Latest COVID-19 news and updates for Haringey:

Revised process for accessing free PPE

May 16, 2022

PPE is still being provided free to unpaid carers and care homes (and some other health and social care providers) to help protect against Covid-19. PPE can be ordered through the Government’s portal here: sign up form (external link)

For more information on who is eligible for free PPE please see the Government’s website www.gov.uk/guidance/ppe-portal-how-to-order-covid-19-personal-protective-equipment (external link)

There are separate PPE ordering procedures for schools – PPE is only needed in special schools and education settings when performing Aerosol Generating Procedures (AGPs). The health protection guidance has been updated and the list of what is considered an AGP has changed. It will only be in limited scenarios that settings will need to access PPE. See the updated guidance here (external link). If individuals in your education setting perform AGPs as described in the guidance, and need additional PPE for this, please register on the PPE portal. Once you are registered, you will be able to order free PPE directly through the Government’s portal. 
Please note the council is no longer providing free PPE and all requests are being directed to the new Government ordering portal.
 

Announcement of new permanent Chief Executive

April 19, 2022

Andy Donald has been appointed the permanent Chief Executive of Haringey Council.  

The appointment is seen as a major coup for Haringey Council as Andy is regarded as one of the best chief executives in the capital.

He has wasted no time settling into the role, after he took over on an interim basis back in February and has already made a number of connections in the borough, working closely with key stakeholders. He has also helped bring together Eastern European communities to address the Ukrainian refugee crisis.

Andy brings with him a wealth of experience including his spell as Chief Executive of nearby Redbridge Council and is relishing the opportunity to take up his new role, subject to approval at Full Council on 27 April 2022. 

During his five-and-a-half years with Redbridge, the east London authority was recognised for its outstanding children’s and adult services and shortlisted twice for the MJ Council of the Year award. 

Andy led Redbridge’s Child Friendly Borough, Growth Commission and Community Hubs work, putting engagement and collaboration with the community at the heart of what the council does. 

He was also the lead Chief Executive for housing and regeneration across the capital and the pandemic response in north-east London. 

Andy, who lives with his family in Hackney, has spent the vast majority of his 30-year career working for London local authorities, including a long spell as the Director with responsibilities for housing, regeneration and major projects at the London Borough of Brent.  

Andy replaces Zina Etheridge, who left to become Chief Executive Officer Designate of north-east London’s health and care partnership.

Energy Rebate Payment - Beware of scams

April 6, 2022

Energy Rebate payment - Beware of scams 

It has come to our attention that a number of our residents have been targeted as part of the energy rebate scam. Residents are contacted by the scam callers and are being asked to share their bank details in order to receive £150 payment. We urge our residents to NOT give your bank details to anyone claiming to be from the council. We will never contact you to ask for your bank details by phone, text or e-mail.

Energy Rebate payment – how and when you will receive the payment

Eligible households in Council Tax properties bands A to D will be paid £150 to help with the rising cost of energy. You don't need to pay this money back. 
Unless you pay your council tax by Direct Debit we will send you a voucher for £150 you can cash at any UK Post Office. We will send the vouchers out during April and May. 
If you do pay your council tax by Direct Debit, we will credit your bank account with £150 during April and May.  

You don't need to do anything else, or contact us.
