COVID 19

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

•Minimising contact with individuals who are unwell by ensuring that those who have coronavirus (COVID-19) symptoms, or who have someone in their household who does, do not attend the Holiday Club.

​

•Staff and children will be expected to clean their hands more often than usual - wash hands thoroughly for 20 seconds with running water and soap and dry them thoroughly or use alcohol hand rub or sanitiser ensuring that all parts of the hands are covered.

​

•Where possible staff will encourage children to keep  two metres apart but if this is not deemed possible, staff will encourage a social distance of 'one metre plus'. 

​

•Staff will ensure their own and encourage children to have good respiratory hygiene by promoting the ‘catch it, bin it, kill it’ approach.

​

•Holiday club staff will be regularly cleaning frequently touched surfaces often using standard products, such as detergents and bleach to be used by external cleaners.

​

•Minimising contact and mixing by altering, as much as possible, the environment (such as classroom layout) and timetables e.g. 3 day minimum booking. 

​

•If a child, young person or other learner becomes unwell with symptoms of coronavirus (COVID-19) while in their setting and needs direct personal care until they can return home. A fluid-resistant surgical face mask should be worn by the supervising adult if a distance of 2 metres cannot be maintained. If contact with the child or young person is necessary, then disposable gloves, a disposable apron and a fluid-resistant surgical face mask should be worn by the supervising adult. If a risk assessment determines that there is a risk of splashing to the eyes, for example from coughing, spitting, or vomiting, then eye protection should also be worn.

​

•We cannot admit clinically extremely vulnerable children who have been advised to continue shielding.
