Following an assessment of risk and in line with government guidance, this policy has been created to inform and advise club members of the procedures put in place by us in response to COVID-19. Please read and comply with the following information to help us minimise risk to other members. Our aim is to deliver the best possible service and training whilst doing everything we can to support social distancing and infection control, however, please understand that no location can make a guarantee of eliminating the spread of COVID-19. You are therefore asked to exercise common sense, awareness, and compliance so that we are doing everything possible to adhere to all guidelines we have received.
Instructors may ask anyone who we believe poses
a risk to the welfare of other members, either in their actions or in
deliberate defiance of our policies, to vacate the premises.
This policy sets out how we intend to progress
with the services we offer and will be reviewed and updated as guidance and
procedures change.
We ask for your understanding and support while
we adjust to a new way of delivering our service to you. We have worked with all necessary parties and
carried out all actions that we feel are needed to safeguard everyone visiting
our training, however if you have any concerns or wish to highlight anything
you feel is a potential issue, then we welcome direct feedback.
