Government guidance
(issued on Wednesday
26th August) outlined
the principles for the the
wearing of face masks in
corridors and communal
areas in schools and
Colleges, as an additional
measure to reduce the
risk of spreading the virus
in a school or College
environment, where social
distancing is more difficult.
This means:
• You must wear a face
mask when moving between
classrooms and when going to
lessons
• You must wear your face mask
in communal areas such as the
LRC and Study Centre, unless a
2 metre social distance can be
respected in these communal
areas
• Wearing a face mask in the
classroom is optional
• You must also wear your face
mask on College buses, in a
shared car or when travelling on
public transport
We will provide you with a
reusable face mask. Should you
forget your face mask, you can
purchase a disposable one from
the main reception, and from the
Student Help desk in the LRC at a
cost of 50p.
We really recommend that
you carry a spare, clean
face mask so that you
are prepared!

It can be challenging to get used to
wearing a face mask. Here are some tips
for making the transition:
• Start slow. Wear your face mask at
home for a short time. Slowly increase
the time until you feel more comfortable
• Find your fit. If your face mask isn’t
comfortable or is too difficult to breathe
through, consider an alternative mask.
Face masks come in a variety of styles
and sizes
• Tie one on. Instead of a face mask, try
a scarf or a bandana to cover your nose
and mouth
Please note: face masks should not be worn
by anyone who has difficulty breathing.
If this applies to you, please speak to your
Progress Tutor about a suitable alternative
Here are a few pointers for how to wear a face
mask safely:
• Wash or sanitise your hands before and after putting
on and taking off your face mask
• Place your face mask over your mouth and nose
• Tie it behind your head or use ear loops to make sure
it is snug
• If you accidentally touch your face mask, wash or
sanitise your hands
• If your face mask becomes wet or dirty, switch it to a
clean one. Put the wet or dirty mask in a sealed plastic
bag until you can wash it
• Remove the face mask by untying or lifting off the ear
loops without touching the front of the mask to your
face
• Wash your hands immediately after removing your
mask
• Regularly wash your face mask with soap and water
by hand or in the washing machine. You can include your
mask with your regular laundry
Tips for
adjusting to wearing
a face mask

• If you can, please walk,
cycle or get dropped off at the
College by a household member
• If you need to use public
transport to get to the College,
please follow carefully the
government guidelines
for doing so, including the
mandatory
wearing of a face covering
• If you have passed your
driving test, and plan to drive to
College, please remember that
ideally you should not car share
with anybody else outside of
your household. If you do need
to car share with others outside
of your household, please keep
the car windows open, and wear
a face covering
• Please park your car facing
the College building. This will
ensure that all drivers parking
at the College will exit from
the same side of their vehicles,
and so can maintain a social
distance from other drivers,
from the point of arrival at the
College
• Please note, if you travel
to and from College on a
College bus, this is a dedicated
transport service, so the social
distance measure does not
apply. Ways we are asking you
to help everyone to stay as safe
as possible include by:
• Maintaining a social distance
from others while queuing and
boarding the bus and whilst on
the bus wherever possible
• Wearing a face covering
(unless exempt)
• Keeping the windows open to
maximise ventilation
• Disembarking via a ‘last on
first off’ system : front to back
lower floor: front to back upper
floor. Be patient and maintain
a social distance, wherever
possible, while disembarking
• Sanitising your hands on
arrival in the main reception
The bus driver will remain
behind a screen at all times
Our bus companies are also
helping to keep you as safe
as possible by:
• Cleaning the bus touch
points after your journey
• Cleaning the bus
overnight and ‘fogging’ it
every 28 days
• Ensuring that the bus
driver remains behind a
screen at all times
7
• Please enter by the main
entrance only, adhering to the
social distancing markings, as
necessary
• Please wear a face mask. If

main reception or LRC help
desk

using the hand sanitiser
provided (foot operated in the
main entrance)

distance from others, wherever
possible

behind others on stairwells,
maintaining a social distance,
wherever possible

possible
