COVID 19 Procedures

• If any of the participants are feeling unwell, they will not be able to attend.

• The session may be cancelled at very short notice if for any reason the forest school leader feels unwell or has to isolate due to NHS Track and Trace

• Hand washing will be available on the forest school site in the form of a Tippy Tap

• The current social distancing recommendations are no less than 1 metre, preferably 2 meters where possible, however due to the nature of children, it is accepted that they will struggle to  social distance at all times.  The participants will be encouraged to keep at least 1 metre apart, but there will be situations when during the course of playing this 1 metre distance  will be breached.  In these situations the risk is perceived to be low, as the breach will only be for short period of time due to the nature of children's play and the air currents that occur in an outdoor situation.

• Your child should not attend if they or anyone in their family is isolating due to the NHS Track and Trace

For this reason please do not send your child if they live with anyone who is shielding or in the vulnerable category within their family bubble, as it is recommended that they do not attend
