COVID-19 Update

We have employed a number of health & safety changes at all our college sites, in compliance with COVID-19 legislation and Welsh Government guidance.

• Hand sanitiser dispensers are available across college sites
• Screens have been installed at reception areas
• One-way systems have been clearly marked out throughout college
• There is social distancing signage and signage about how to reduce the spread of COVID-19 across college sites

Further information is available to students via Moodle.

The current Welsh Government guidance is that staff and students should wear face coverings if social distancing cannot be maintained.

We will continue to ask staff and students to wear face coverings in all communal areas of the college.

Each reception area has been provided with a supply of college 3-layer face coverings if staff or students require them.

There are some circumstances where a student or staff member may not be able to wear a face covering. Whether somebody has a reasonable excuse not to wear a face-covering will not always be obvious. We are mindful and respectful of such circumstances, noting that some people may be less able to wear face coverings and the reasons for this may not be visible to others.
