How to get help with PPE

We have made the Local Resilience Forums stock of PPE available to care providers. We also have a limited amount of government supplied PPE to help for a short amount of time. 

To get help with PPE, follow these steps.

1. Check if you are eligible

   We can help you get PPE if:

   • you are a CQC registered care provider
   • you are an unpaid carer or you look after a friend or relative
   • you employ a personal assistant to give you care and support in your home
2. Contact us

   There are several ways to contact us and start the ordering process:

   • you can email us for a callback to discuss your needs and place an order on PPEOrders@leeds.gov.uk
   • if you care for a friend or relative you can complete our unpaid carer's online order form hosted by Carers Leeds External link
   • to get PPE for your personal assistant you can download a personal assistant PPE order form on Leeds CIL External link
3. We call you back

   We will call you to discuss your PPE requirements and confirm your order.

   We might offer you PPE from government supplies or from our stock. If you get PPE from our stock you will be invoiced for it at cost price.

   We'll deliver your order within 72 hours after making contact with you.
