WCVA have produced a handy checklist to help you to keep your policy effective and up to date.
As community centres are permitted to reopen on Monday 9 November, this latest guidance is intended to outline the changes to the regulations and provide you with practical ways to ensure your centre and actions are compliant. Remember, just because you can reopen your community centre, it doesn’t mean you have to.
This guidance issued is for those managing community centres, village halls, church halls and other community centres, on safely reopening multi-purpose buildings. Read guidance here
The new guidance is be based on the amended Regulations, an up to date version of which can be found at gov.wales/coronavirus-legislation-and-guidance-law
This information aims to help community centres think about the process of re-opening and to navigate issues that may arise. It is not an authoritative statement of law and should be read in conjunction with the updated Government guidance, which is regularly updated. However, as at 15 June 2020, the information is based on a two metre social distancing requirement in Wales.
Fear and anxiety about a disease can be overwhelming and cause strong emotions in adults and children. Coping with stress and looking after your mental health will make you, the people you care about, and your community stronger.
