COVID Policy and Plan

We are able to run our workshops under Orange & Red restrictions with increased measures in place to ensure the safety of our guests and staff. Please read below the changes we are implementing for Green, Orange and Red Restrictions to minimise the risk and spread of COVID-19. 

At ANY Restriction level we ask that you observe the following: 

• We ask that anyone with flu-like symptoms or feels unwell at any time before or during the workshop to inform us immediately and socially distance themselves as much as possible from the rest of the group. If on a tour we will then ask you to take a RAT test. A positive result will mean that you will have to self isolate and will not be able to continue with the tour or workshop. 
• We reserve the right to ask anyone we feel may be unwell and/or have flu-like symptoms that may pose a risk to other attendees health and safety to leave any of our tours or workshops, even if they have a Negative RAT test at the time. 
• We ask that if you have had contact with anyone who may have COVID-19 or is self-isolating because of contact with COVID-19, we ask that you have a negative PCR test done before attending any of our workshops.
• We will be practising social distancing when we are in our classrooms and out in the field – under Red Restrictions
• Before and after each workshop we will be sanitising the surfaces in our classrooms and facilities.
• If your workshop requires that we travel together in our vans we strongly recommend the use of facial masks, our guides will be wearing them – Masks are compulsory at Orange & Red restrictions. 
• On entering our vans or classrooms we will ask you to please sanitise your hands.
• We ask that while on our workshops that you do not share food or equipment with other guests.
