For our in-person training, we will be using the following procedures below during our courses:

• In the interests of safety for all involved, students will need to provide proof of a negative rapid lateral flow Covid-19 test taken within 24 hours of a session. You can order a home test kit here (https://www.gov.uk/order-coronavirus-rapid-lateral-flow-tests) or you can collect a home test kit from a pharmacy.
• Our venue will be cleaned daily with all handles and key areas sanitised.
• All equipment used will be disinfected before and after use.
• We will require students to take a temperature test and wash their hands with soap and water or use sanitiser (provided) at the start of a session. Any students with high temperature (37.8C and above) or regular coughing will be sent home and asked to follow government guidelines for those showing potential signs of Covid–19. Please be assured we will not penalise you for self-quarantining. Where this impacts on assessments we will work with you to find alternative future times to continue your training hours.
• Depending on the nature of the work, we may require students to wear face masks and/or face shields throughout the session. We will state if this is required in the individual session’s Welcome Pack. Please bring your own face mask as a matter of courtesy to others.  Although they are not a guarantee of safety a mask cuts the chance of the disease being passed on as well as protection from passing on a general cold.
• We would ask students to bring their own water bottle to class.

We will continue to monitor the situation and review our policy if government guidelines or circumstances change.
