COVID19 Health & Safety

 

At DoulaCare Ireland we are proud to lead the way with professional industry standards for doula work in Ireland. The COVID19 pandemic is no different. When you hire doulas though our agency, you can be guaranteed they will be working with the highest standards of health and safety.

So what are DoulaCare Ireland doulas doing to protect their clients, and prevent the spread of the COVID19 virus?

 
 

  • We stay up to date with (and follow) the latest guidelines from the HSE and WHO

  • All doulas working with us have attended a COVID19 health and safety training before returning to in person support.

  • All doulas working with us have been trained on correct hand washing procedures

  • All doulas working with us have been trained on correct use of cloth (reusable) and medical face masks

  • All doulas working with us have been trained on correct use of PPE (personal protective equipment)

  • We fill in a health check form before each client visit (and our clients do the same)

  • All doulas working with us keep a contact tracing log and limit the number of families each doula works with

  • We wash our hands frequently with soap and water or use an alcohol-based hand rub

  • We practice good respiratory hygiene

  • We will maintain social distancing as much as possible, or wear appropriate PPE if social distancing is not possible

  • We avoid touching our eyes, nose and mouth

DoulaCare Ireland has a lengthy COVID19 health and safety policy, which all doulas working with us sign up to before offering in-person support. This offers our clients reassurance they they will be supported with the experience, empathy and knowledge of DoulaCare Ireland's amazing doulas - in a safe and professional environment.

We tailor our services to each individual families needs, offering bespoke care and support. You can have open discussions with our agency owners before booking in your doula support. This allows you the opportunity to ask any questions you may have to ensure you are 100% happy with your chosen doula and also with your bespoke support package.

We also have a wide range of virtual supports available - meaning no in-person contact, but you gain all the knowledge and experience!

So, if you would like to know more about our in person or virtual supports, from fertility to the first year of parenting, get in touch and we’ll be delighted to get you on the road to a positive and empowered experience with DoulaCare Ireland.
