So back to the grind after a lovely warm summer.
A lot of you have been sharing your concerns about the return to school and to face-to-face tuition, and I get that, I really do. I share many of those concerns.
To address those concerns relating to tuition, I’ve spent some time working on a risk assessment, that will form the basis of our practice. Bear with me, I’m not an expert, so if you see any glaring omissions please let me know.
| Risk | Who | Probability | Mitigation |
| Transmission through contact with resources | Student and tutor | low | Students to be e mailed work to be printed out prior to session, students to bring own pencils/eraser/ruler/ copies of school texts etc. Sanitiser to be used in all shared resources. |
| Transmission through contact with premises | Student and parents | low | Students to use side gate and remain within classroom area (parents to ensure children have used the toilet beforehand) Table to be covered with plastic cloth, disinfected before and after each student. Sanitiser to be used regularly |
| Transmission through proximity – unable to keep 2m apart indoors | Tutor, student and parents | medium | Sessions to be held in garden where reasonable. Student and tutor to sit at opposite ends of table. Students not to attend if they have any covid symptoms, or temperature/cold/cough/runny nose. Alternative online session will be provided. Parents to give notice that online session is required by mid-day. Feedback to be provided online; payments to be made online where possible. Parents to arrive promptly to avoid contact with pother parents/students. Whilst students are not expected to wear masks, the tutor reserves the right to wear a (clear) mask if asthma is bad. |
