How City of Bristol College looks in a Covid-19 world
Following the outbreak of Covid-19, also known as Coronavirus, City of Bristol College has taken steps to make all of its centres a safe and enjoyable place to learn.
How have classes changed? We have reduced the number of people in our buildings at one time. To achieve this, most of your courses will include sessions taught at the college supported by online learning to help you reach your full potential. Workshops and classrooms have been altered to hold a small capacity of students. Protective screens have been put up in relevant areas and PPE is to be worn in customer-facing courses such as Hair and Beauty and Catering. We have also modified timetables and class sizes to spread footfall.
What steps have we taken to make our centres Covid-safe? To keep everyone safe, we are asking all staff and students to wear face coverings in communal areas (unless you are exempt on medical grounds). Communal areas include receptions, corridors and refectories. When you arrive at any of our centres, you will be asked to complete a temperature check in the reception area. If your temperature records 37 degrees or lower, you are fine to enter the building. There are hand sanitiser points throughout each college centres as well as in all classrooms and workshops. There will also be wipes in all classrooms and communal areas and we ask all students and staff to clean down their tables when they depart the room.
In refectories, we have made purchasing your food easier and safer with our Click and Collect service. You can now order from your phone and then arrange a time to collect your meal from the canteen. Throughout your time at any of our centres, we ask you to respect the social distancing and one-way system throughout the centre and, wherever possible, arrive alone. At all of our centres, we have introduced intensive cleaning regimes and have made changes to all of our bathroom facilities to allow for social distancing – with smaller washrooms only allowing a one-in, one-out policy.
