If you have any symptoms of Covid 19, or have been socialising with anyone who has then please do not come to the Barn - contact us asap and we will arrange another booking.
We have looked at all the government guidelines and carried out a risk assessment to identify sensible measures we can all take to minimise the risk. We have consulted those who work here and some of our regular visitors. We will keep these under review and make any necessary changes as required.
First though there are three very important measures which we need to keep in force at all times for everyone who works at or visits the Barn:
Face masks are not currently required at the Barn. However they may be worn if you prefer.
Cleanliness measures
We are cleaning/disinfecting toilets, surfaces, door handles etc at least daily. Hand-sanitisers are in place at the entrances and in the toilets. Normal hand washing facilities are also in place. Please disinfect toilets after use. Anti-virus spray and paper towels are in the toilets. Please also bring your own hand-sanitisers and gloves if you wish.
Social distances
If you are sitting down, standing still or walking slowly, please maintain at least 2 metres/6 feet distance from others. Course-walking at any shows will be staggered into small groups. If you are running your dog on a course or doing other energetic activities please maintain 3 metres distance from others. This will allow more “airspace” around you.
Ventilation
When in use all toilet and Schoolroom windows and the Barn doors must be left open to allow maximum airflow. Please adjust according to temperature/wind.
Further measures to reduce the spread of Covid 19
Avoid shouting, loud music, radios etc as these all make normal conversation difficult and encourage others to reduce social distancing. Avoid “sharing” objects: leads, toys, equipment etc and leave doors & gates open whenever possible.
Food and drink
Apart from personal bottled water and hot drink flasks, food and drinks are not normally to be consumed in the Barn. For longer courses special arrangements will be made.
Supervision
We ask all trainers/organisers who use the Barn to brief and supervise their clients to maintain these measures. We also ask them to keep a record (date, name and contact number) for all attendees for 28 days, to aid the national “track and trace” programme.
All these measures will be kept under review and adjusted as Government guidelines and instructions permit.
We look forward to seeing you at the barn again soon and ask you to do all you can to help us to avoid the spread of Covid 19.
