St Padarn's COVID Guidelines Update 2022

Throughout the COVID pandemic we have worked hard to ensure that our activities still go ahead whilst ensuring that we keep people safe, whether that is our staff, learners or anyone else with whom we have contact in the course of our work. This has meant that for many months we have worked primarily from home and almost all activity has been taken on-line.

We are following the Welsh government regulations and advice closely as lockdown is lifting. From September we will be returning to face-to-face teaching.

The safety of learners, staff and anyone who has contact with St Padarn’s extremely important to us and so at present therefore it is necessary to have some restrictions in place so that we can ensure we keep a clean and safe environment.

The library is open, but as there are limits on the number of people who can be there at any one time, so in busy periods you may have to wait for entry.

Visitors who are coming onto the St Padarn’s, Cardiff, site need to follow these guidelines:

We take people’s safety very seriously and the following guidelines are taken from our risk assessment which was developed in consultation with a staff focus group. We ask that you follow these for the sake of others as well as your own safety.

The key things to remember in order to avoid infection are:

• Maintain distance – be mindful of those around you.
• Wash hands/use hand sanitizer regularly, sanitizer units are placed around the building.
• Windows are likely to be open to ensure good ventilation, please do not close them. You may need to wear warmer clothes.

*Masks will no longer be required at St Padarn's activities. Please feel free to wear one if you are more comfortable doing so*
