Mayo Self Advocacy Group in partnership with Mayo Sligo Leitrim Education and Training Board (MSLETB) are delighted to inform you that they have produced a video called “Keeping Safe During Covid 19”
The group felt it might be useful to share the video to support people with the vaccination process and to re-inforce the importance of social distancing and hand hygiene.
Please note the vides will not work within the citrix environment.
I would like to congratulate the Mayo Self Advocacy Group and all those involved, on this excellent production and thank them for their work in putting the video together as it will be a very useful resource for us to share.
