Our membership demographic could be described as vulnerable so we have a Covid Safe plan in place to maximise member safety. That plan includes restricting attendance to only fully Covid vaccinated people. Tutors will ask to see proof of vaccination status (or a medical exemption certificate) at the first class attended in each course.
