CV-19 RISK ASSESSMENT

The Court Street Gallery – CV-19 MEASURES
 

At The Court Street Gallery, there is nothing more important to us than our customers and our team’s wellbeing. While we can’t wait to welcome you back to our workshops and gallery space, you will definitely notice that things look a little different and notice that we have made changes that provide a safe, comfortable and enjoyable environment for everyone.
 

We will ensure that we adhere to all guidelines set out by the Government and we will be constantly monitoring and ensuring that we go above and beyond to create a safe environment when you visit us.

 

We are a COVID secure venue, and can there for host workshops of more than 6 people.

Venues following COVID-19 secure guidelines will be able to continue to host more people in total - such as religious services in places of worship - but no one should visit in a group of greater than 6. When you visit one of these places, such as a pub, shop, leisure venue, restaurant or place of worship you should:

• follow the limits on the number of other people you should meet with as a group - no more than six people unless you all live together (or are in the same support bubble)

• avoid social interaction with anyone outside the group you are with, even if you see other people you know

• provide your contact details to the organiser so that you can be contacted if needed by the NHS Test and Trace programme
