Covid-19 Guidance

Our approach

We all want to be able to enjoy more in-person events on site here at Outside Lives but as a service provider to the community, including people of all ages, abilities and levels of health and mobility, it is important that we exercise a duty of care by taking any potential transmission of the Covid-19 virus very seriously. 

In order to keep our site as safe as possible, we would ask that wherever possible, you conduct a lateral flow test in the 24-hours leading up to your site visit/event/meeting. However, if this is not possible, we would ask that you observe the following guidance:

Please do not attend site if any of the following apply:

  • You or a member of your household is experiencing any COVID symptoms (high temperature, new persistent cough, loss of taste and/or smell), or you are waiting for the results of a COVID test
  • You have been contacted by track and trace and told to self-isolate
  • You have underlying health conditions that place you as high-risk
  • You, or anyone that you live with have been abroad in the last 14-days

Getting to our site:

  • When coming to visit us we would ask that you please try to avoid car sharing where possible - whilst this is a positive from an environmental stance and would usually be encouraged, the risk of transmission is higher
  • If you travel by public transport, please ensure you observe a 2-meter distance from other people wherever possible, ensure that a mask is worn and wash your hands as soon as you get to site

When you are here, we ask that you please observe the following process:

  • We will take your temperature, sign you in and ask you some simple questions about how you are feeling to ensure that you don’t have any symptoms
  • Keep two meters away from others on site at all times
  • Follow the one-way system
  • Stay outside and do not cross into any areas defined as “no entry”
  • Wash your hands regularly and use the sanitiser provided

We will ensure that all onsite facilities have been effectively cleaned and sanitized for your visit and hand washing stations are available. We will remind you of our COVID guidelines prior to your visit and reserve the right to refuse entry to any person who is not following government guidelines and/or anyone we feel is displaying symptoms of Covid-19.

We appreciate that many of our activities are outdoors and as such, probability of transmission is lower. We would however ask that for the safety of all our visitors and volunteers that this guidance is followed.

Many thanks,

Outside Lives
