WORKING TOGETHER TO KEEP OUR CAMPUS AND WINCHESTER SAFE Covid guidelines for students We are looking forward to an enjoyable year, but in order for this to happen we need to work together to make the campus safe.

We are following the latest Public Health England and government guidelines and have put in place a wide range of safety measures including: ■

Socially-distanced seats and workstations across campus

■

Clear signage

■

Enhanced cleaning services

■

One-way systems and plastic barriers in appropriate areas

■

Widespread hand sanitiser and cleaning stations

■

Blended learning to eliminate large gatherings

■

Introducing a Covid Campus Safety Team

We will all need to: Practise social distancing

Wear a face covering as appropriate including when moving through all University buildings, ordering in all food outlets, and when in social learning spaces (for full advice visit the Face Covering Guidance page under Health and Safety on the intranet).

Wash our hands regularly for 20 seconds using soap and water, or use hand sanitiser, and cover coughs and sneezes.

Follow all government, NHS and University guidance and regulations. All University guidance is subject to change in line with the latest government advice. Visit www.gov.uk/coronavirus for the latest government advice.

Remember that socialising and having a fun and safe student experience is still important. Visit the Winchester Student Union events calendar on winchesterstudents. co.uk/events and explore a range of extra-curricular opportunities on winchesterstudents.co.uk/get-involved

Only socialise indoors with members of up to two households – this includes when dining out or going to the pub.

Only socialise outdoors in a group of up to six people from different households, or in larger groups if everyone is exclusively from one or two households.

It is really important that we all take this seriously In order to protect us all, ignoring or refusing to follow government guidelines and regulations will result in disciplinary action, including potential suspension from studies.
