A Covid-19 Confidential Helpline facility is now operational and will be available to Cork City Council staff from 9:00am-5:00pm Monday to Friday.
The helpline number is ext. 4098 / 021-4924098.
We understand the current situation can be worrying and uncertain for some employees. Cork City Council staff can access the Employee Assistance Programme, and this is a free, confidential and professional counselling service available to all staff.
This service provides support for those dealing with issues like anxiety, bereavement, bullying, coping with stress, depression, mental health worries etc. The employee assistance programme does not provide medical advice. If you have medical related concerns, these should be directed to your GP. If you require any additional information on the employee assistance programme, you can email your queries to welfare@corkcity.ie.
There is a lot of false information out there so please seek your information from the public authorities. We advise keeping up to date via the Department of Health/HSE coronavirus and World Health Organization page. This is the most reliable and up-to-date.
The HSE contact centre, HSE Live is open 7 days a week. 1800 700 700.
