COVID HEALTH AND SAFETY RISK ASSESSMENT

 

DO NOT ATTEND LESSONS IF YOU FEEL UNWELL

 

ALL students will have to stick to their allotted days and times. It is unlikely we can offer any flexibility with this

 

Lessons will be run as near to normal as safety will allow

 

Skipton Academy, we will have a one way system for students arriving and departing the hall. Arrivals will enter through the usual door and depart through the fire doors opposite. Non-members will not be allowed to enter the building, if you are delivering/collecting please wait outside using social distancing. Students should not arrive at the club more than 10 minutes before class starts

 

All students will be temperature checked on arrival, those showing a high temperature will not be allowed to train

Hand sanitising stations will be available; ALL students will be required to clean their hands upon arrival. If deemed necessary, students will be required to sanitise their hands during the lesson, for this purpose students must also bring their own hand sanitiser

 

Regarding social distancing, this depends on the numbers of students interested. There will be approximately 30 students at the Skipton Academy.  

Students will be required to come to the club in their karate suit (NO CHANGING FACILITIES AVAILABLE)

 

Although toilets will be available, it will be wise and encouraged to have "gone" at home

Partner work. Whilst we understand this is an important part of karate, we must put safety first. Adults are not allowed to take part in close contact partner work, they may do pad work though.  Students under the age of 18 are allowed to take part in all aspects of partner work

 

Face masks for the moment are OPTIONAL. 

Water breaks will still be allowed (social distancing implemented)

 

We will not be able to Kiai.... We know that shouting risks projecting droplets over a wider space.

 

Karate suits and mitts must be clean (as must students!).  Please do NOT forget your mitts as we cannot provide any

We will be cleaning the training areas between classes

 

We will be opening windows and door where possible to allow ventilation

 

We know that there is quite a lot to take in with these changes.  If you have a child who is too young to understand about hygiene and social distancing, they will unfortunately not be allowed to train. We do have to be quite strict about this

 

Paying cash is still possible HOWEVER, please put the exact amount in an envelope
