Coronavirus (COVID-19) Policy V5.0 – January 2022

Introduction

This policy outlines the company’s strategy for reducing exposure to COVID-19 among staff, trainers, visitors, contractors, and delegates. Given the evolving nature of COVID-19, information is continually updated via GOV.UK and Public Health England. C&C Training follows these updates and adapts accordingly.

COVID-19 primarily spreads through large respiratory droplets and contact with infected secretions. To prevent infection, individuals should frequently wash their hands or use an alcohol-based sanitizer and avoid touching their face.

From January 27, 2022, the following measures have been implemented (subject to continuous review):

1. Check-in procedures – One-at-a-time check-ins, including thermal temperature scanning on arrival.

2. Sanitisation points – Available in reception and classroom entrances.

3. Face coverings – Recommended in training and communal areas.

4. Restricted restroom use – One person at a time.

5. Limited coffee area access – One person at a time.

6. Enhanced cleaning protocols – Frequent disinfection of high-touch areas.

For any concerns during your visit, please consult a staff member.
