Covid 19: Event safety

To ensure your safety, all events have been fully risk assessed and will be managed in accordance with current government guidance on socialising. Currently, single occupancy flats (studios), shared flats and houses are all classified as a “household” and you can therefore socialise with other residents of your household. The latest guidance on socialising outside of your household can be found on the GOV.UK website. At the time of the event we will remind you of the latest guidance but it will be your responsibility to abide by this. Additionally, we will provide personal safety information relevant to the event and some equipment, such as hand sanitizer. However, where face coverings are required in line with government advice, you will be expected to provide your own. We will advise you in advance if you will require a face covering for your event.
