MK Covid Champions Code of Conduct
The purpose of the COVID-19 Community Champion scheme is to help ensure that residents across Milton Keynes hear correct and consistent information about the COVID-19 arrangements. We recognise that there is often debate and sometimes disagreement, but our role is to tell people what the rules are so they can apply them to their everyday lives.
Therefore, as a COVID-19 Community Champion, you are asked to agree to these five guidelines:
- Any information or advice you circulate comes from Milton Keynes Council or the Government.
- You do not make political statements in respect of the advice you are sharing
- To ensure that key messages are not undermined please do not debate the merits of the guidance.
- If someone disagrees with the guidance simply signpost them to the correct information.
- Do not apply your own interpretation of guidelines – if in doubt, ask for clarification.
Future Champion Activity
For those Champions who are keen to get more involved in supporting their local community we are talking to Community Action MK and will keep you updated on developments.

Up to date guidance for Milton Keynes
Milton Keynes is not currently subject to local intervention and is therefore subject to the general national rules. It is critical that everybody observes the following key behaviours.
- HANDS - Wash your hands regularly and for at least 20 seconds.
- FACE - Cover your face in enclosed spaces, especially where social distancing may be difficult and where you will come into contact with people you do not normally meet.
- SPACE - Stay 2 metres apart where possible, or 1 metre with extra precautions in place.

NHS COVID-19 app
The NHS COVID-19 app was launched on 24 September. Protect your loved ones with the official NHS COVID-19 contact tracing app for England and Wales.
It's the fastest way of knowing when you're at risk from COVID-19. The quicker you know, the quicker you can alert your loved ones, and your community.
You can find out more about the app here: covid19.nhs.uk.
Stoptober
COVID-19 has brought home to the nation the importance of looking after our physical health and during this pandemic quitting smoking is one of the best things you can do.
Defeating cigarettes can open up a new life where you feel healthier, fitter, save money, look better and live without the shadow of cigarettes always in the background. To join the Stop Smoking Service, this Stoptober go to the website: www.thestopsmokingservice.co.uk or text STOPTOBER to 88802.
