This is a difficult one that is for sure. I am wondering if it is due to not being able to look at the face and perhaps the masks used for speech therapy or by people lip reading may be of assistance for this situation.

Hello everyone
I am seeking your thoughts on caring for patient who is for essential care but due to mental health history would not allow any staff around in mask. Protective eye wear is possible.
Wondering if anyone had similar situation and what factors were considered for risk assessment. Was WHS involved?
kind regards
