COVID 19
Footloose Dance is following the advice of Public Health England (PHE) and the Local Authority to ensure we are doing everything we can to help avoid the spread of this virus.
The situation is changing all the time, please keep yourselves up to date with UK Government Guidelines on the corona virus COVID-19:
https://www.gov.uk/guidance/coronavirus-covid-19-information-for-the-public
To ensure we are continuing to do our best to maintain the wellbeing of our staff and dance families we have updated our policies until there is a significant decline in the virus. We can do our bit to ensure our community stays safe:
· Wash your hands. Pupils should wash their hands before and after each class. Hand gel will be provided upon entering and leaving the village hall.
· Sneezing into a tissue or elbow if no tissue is available and washing hands as soon as possible.
· Avoid touching eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands.
· Staff will check with the buildings that we use that touched objects and surfaces within the dance studios are cleaned and disinfected frequently.
· During classes we have been advised to limit any activities where pupil to pupil and staff to pupil may have to hold hands. Any shared resources between classes will be appropriately cleaned.
· If you consider that you or your children, have had any potential contact with the virus; contact NHS 111 for further advice and then Emily at Footloose Dance before attending any classes. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
· If your child shows any symptoms after a class then please inform Emily so the correct actions can be taken.
· For the foreseeable future parents will not be allowed to watch classes.
· Children will be collected from the entrance of the hall and escorted out upon collection.
· Pupils/parents should avoid queuing outside the hall if possible and if not ensure social distancing.
· Face Masks do not need to be worn during classes. The guidance states that children 11 and over need to wear masks unless covered under a ‘reasonable excuse’. This could be for a gym class, if users need to eat or drink something, or if they have a health or disability reason to not wear one. Children over 11 can of course choose to wear one to enter and leave classes.
· Non – fire doors and windows should be opened to ensure ventilation if possible.
