From Tuesday, care home residents in England will no longer have to self-isolate if they leave the home to go outdoors, whether it is to visit family or friends in outdoor spaces or be in the garden of a relative.

We would like to hear from families in England who are meeting their relatives outside of their care homes today. We are also interested in hearing how people feel about a petition to ensure essential carers the right to visit care home residents.
