Studio’s Health and Safety Policy for Children

What to expect when signing up Children to the Classes at Community Well Studio

Community Well follows all guidelines advised by Health Protection Surveillance Centre (HPSC) and the HSE.

  • Parents will be sent Covid-19 Safety questionnaire (available on the bottom of this web page) on the day of the class and asked to email answers back before the class.

  • Doors to the studio will be opened 10min before the class and parents can go straight up to the studio with their child.

  • Children and teachers will not be expected to wear masks on the class providing the answer to all Covid Safety Questions both for children and teachers is NO.

What will be the same at the class?

We understand that this is a difficult time for parents and children alike. We hope that by running the classes it will help us all assume some sort of normality and give your children a well-deserved and timely escape from lockdown.  With your help and cooperation we will ensure that the class is run within government guidelines so that we all stay safe.  

At the same time we wish to ensure that our classes provide your children with fun, educational and relaxing activities.  We also aim to ensure that the children will be able to socialise as safely as possible and make friends with other children during their class time.

COVID-19 Safety Questions

Pre-screening is now a public health recommendation for children prior to attending to classes. This measure is an effort to minimise the risk of the spread of COVID-19. Pre-screening should be completed prior to a child attending as a risk management protocol.

1. Does your child have symptoms of cough, fever, high temperature, sore throat, runny nose, breathlessness, sudden loss of taste or smell, diarrhea or flu like symptoms now or in the past 14 days? Yes/No

2. Has your child been diagnosed with or suspected of having COVID-19 virus in the last 14 days? Yes/No

3. Has your child had any close contact with a person who was diagnosed with or a suspected case of COVID-19 in the past 14 days? Yes/No

4. Has anyone in your home or household been diagnosed with COVID-19 and advised to self-isolate or admitted to hospital in the last 14 in relation to COVID19? Yes/ No

5. Has your child been advised by a doctor to self-isolate at any time in the last 14 days? Yes/No If Yes why?

6. Has your child or any of your household been tested for Covid 19 or are awaiting a test in the last 14 days? Yes/No

7. Has your child or any of your household members travelled outside of Ireland to countries other than those on the Green List in the last 14 days? Yes/No

If you answer ‘Yes’ to any of the above questions we won’t be able to accept your child to the class at this time for their own health and for everyone else’s safety.
