ON ARRIVAL

• For adult classes – there will no longer be reception, please check in with the tutor. No-one who is not taking part in the class should enter the building unless dropping off a minor, in which case the procedure for youth classes (below) follows.
• For youth classes – please be aware of keeping numbers of people in the building to a minimum and try not to bring any unnecessary additional people in when dropping off your child (we realise this may sometimes be necessary with siblings). Check in with reception on arrival, everything is digitized there should be no need to handle paperwork or cash. Exit following the one-way system as soon as practical.
• Sanitize hands at reception on arrival, or wash directly in the bathroom.

• If you are bringing your own aerial equipment for use in class ensure that it is inspected for safe use by an appropriate staff member or the tutor.

• Labelled cubby holes are reserved for staff use.

USE OF TOILETS

• Ensure that you read and abide by notices and staff instructions and signage about bathroom and facilities when using the bathroom. There will be one bathroom dedicated to students during class time, and one for staff and professionals. Please stick to the allocated bathroom.

DURING CLASS

• Circus Tots and SEN classes ONLY – We do require 1 parent to join in the class with their child, this is partly so that the children can do more varied activities when they need help.

• We are re-introducing sharing of equipment.

• Use good hygiene practice – avoid touching your face, wash your hands frequently for 20 seconds, sneeze/cough into a disposable tissue or into your elbow if none are available, avoid touching unnecessary surfaces.

BEFORE LEAVING

• Parents should enter and exit through the one-way system when collecting their children, and ensure that they sanitize their hands on entry.
• Take all personal belongings and equipment with you.
