Covid Policy

Artemis Studios and College (ASC) coronavirus policy for learners

 

ASC recognise that the coronavirus pandemic has caused a lot of concern among learners and their families, and that people will rightly want to ensure that the environment is as safe as possible. 

As a School/School/College we are committed to ensuring we provide a healthy and safe environment for the ASC community. We are therefore implementing all relevant government guidance to help protect against the spread of coronavirus. This includes a full risk assessment of study arrangements, upgraded cleaning, hand sanitisation stations and many other measures designed to minimise risk.

We will be following in full the government guidance on what we need to do to open safely. 

There is information on when you should book a test for young people detailed in the government guidance for parents. We also ask all learners and their families to ensure that they take all reasonable precautions to minimise the risk of transmission.

  • The School/College will

    • Manage confirmed cases of coronavirus (COVID-19) in line with current public health guidance

      • This means your child may be asked to self-isolate or take other measures (based on advice from their local health protection teams) if they have symptoms, a positive test, or are required to isolate

    • Ensure that everyone cleans their hands more often than usual. This should be done for 20 seconds with soap and running water or hand sanitiser

    • Promote the ‘catch it, bin it, kill it’ approach, to ensure good hygiene

    • Enhance cleaning, including cleaning frequently touched surfaces more often, as well as other protective measures

Over and above this we ask everyone to recognise and understand that there will be a range of views about the virus within the organisation. We request that everyone is respectful of other’s views and needs, and to always be as careful as possible. 

All learners and their families are required to follow the government guidance for households with a possible infectionat all times. 

All learners must complete a health assessment. Learners are also required to immediately notify ASC if any of the answers on the health assessment change at any time. Learners with a health condition will be risk-assessed before they start School/College and should not attend until advised to do so.

Learners are required to advise ASC immediately if they have coronavirus (COVID-19) symptoms, or have tested positive, or if they are required to self-isolate because another member of their household is symptomatic. Please report this via an immediate email to info@artemis-studios.co.uk
