Emergency Procedures
We have carefully reviewed our duty arrangements to ensure they are covid-secure, in line with industry standards and clear for FSC staff and customers. We will confirm arrangements with group leaders on arrival but please ask in advance if you have any questions as it may have changed from your previous experience.
Should a student or staff member test positive for Covid 19 whilst on site or during the journey down we will ask for this person to be collected as soon as possible for the safety of your group and our staff.
An isolation room or area will be made available if possible until collection.
