From October 2022
Q. What activities are permitted in the Hall?
A. All of our usual activities are permitted, subject only to the capacity limits published on the Facilities page of this website. There is no published cap for the Bleaches Room, but we would suggest that for more than 12 you should consider hiring the Green Room.
It is up to organisers to ensure that they comply and follow any guidance from their association if they have one.
Continuing Mitigation Measures
Q. My activity involves users who are nervous about/vulnerable to Covid-19. Are you still providing support for these circumstances?
A. We are continuing to provide sanitiser and cleaning materials. We would urge you to conduct your own risk assessment having regard to your user demographic.
Q. Is mask wearing required in the Hall?
A. Face coverings are no longer required by the regulations. However, we encourage you to consder the wearing of masks if vulnerable people are present, especially in crowded spaces or corridors, unless an exemption applies to a person (e.g. for health reasons, those aged under 11) or they are taking part in an activity to which an exemption applies– an exercise class, eating & drinking, organised singing - and only whilst in the room where the activity is taking place.
Track & Trace QR codes
Q. What has happened to the Hall QR code?
A. Halls have been asked to remove their QR Code posters and to destroy any records of personal data that they have kept. The hall has not taken any personal data - that responsibility fell to organisers of activities who can now decide whether and how to collect and keep contact details. If on paper it needs to be kept out of public sight and securely stored.
Q. Will the NHS COVID-19 app still be in use?
A. No. There is no longer a requirement to report a positive covid-19 test result to the NHS.
