Dear Parents

We  are  aware  that  some  of  you  are  feeling  anxious  about  the Coronavirus  and  we  want  to assure you we are keeping up to date with Government and Public Health guidance on managing the risk.

We will be introducing the following hygiene practises for both skaters and coaches as advised by Public Health England.  Please support us to provide a safe environment for our Skaters and Coaches by following these practices:

• Please ensure that skaters wash their hands thoroughly both before and after training
• On entering/ exiting the academy we ask all visitors and Skaters to use the hand sanitiser provided
• We will  monitor  the  health  of  skaters  when  in  our  care  and  will  react  quickly  in  the event of any rise in temperature or changes in behaviour
• We will  encourage  Skaters  to  wash  hands  frequently  with  soap after  toilet  visits,  or  when  hands  are contaminated after coughing or sneezing.
• Please send skaters with tissues to practice and ensure that used tissues are binned after use.
• Anyone that has travelled to affected areas are not to attend training until they have completed a 14-day period in the UK after travel.
• We ask the Skaters do not share food/ drinks with others.
• Skaters should not attend training if they or close family members feel unwell or have any of the symptoms of Coronavirus, please contact 111 for advice.
• We will  be talking  about good  hygiene  practices to  our  Skaters  and  will  actively encourage them to follow those practices

We are committed to ensuring the safety of our skaters and appreciate your support, if you have any suggestions on how we can further improve or if you have any concerns, please do contact us
