During the current uncertainty surrounding the spread of coronavirus, charities are urged to check the most up to date advice from Public Health England.

We’ve received many enquiries into our call centre about the reporting process on RSI. Unfortunately, our initial response was not as helpful as we would have liked. Therefore, we would like to clarify that charities should continue to report serious incidents using the current guidelines and their own judgement and we will advise if and when this situation changes.
