Face Coverings & Social Distancing

It is the personal choice of the individual to wear a face covering or not and those that wish to do so should be encouraged by the FE Colleges. However the wearing of face masks in FE colleges is no longer a mandatory requirement; 
• Two metre social distancing, where possible, is still encouraged. 

Additional Measures 

• The continued use of good hand hygiene; 
• Risk assessments and safe systems of work should be updated in line with existing HSE guidance and to reflect any guidance changes.
