MANAGING THE TRANSMISSION DURING THE SCHOOL DAY We have a number processes to reduce the potential for transmission during the school day. They include but are not limited to the following: Touch-less hand sanitising stations are positioned throughout the school to encourage trainees to frequently clean their hands. We have signage across the school to remind trainees and staff to maintain high levels of hygiene. Specific processes are in place for the management and handling of technical equipment.

It will take the support of the whole community to ensure we can keep ELAM operating in these difficult times. There are a few things you can do to support. No staff or trainees should come into ELAM if they are displaying any symptoms of coronavirus. Please ensure you follow these protocols if a trainee or a family member has symptoms or a positive case of Covid-19. When using public transport, staff and students should wear masks as per the guidance from TFL and the Government. Please make sure you come to ELAM with all necessary equipment (pen, pencil, eraser) as we will not be sharing these essential basic resources. + Will masterclasses still take place? Industry masterclasses are an essential part of the curriculum at ELAM. While we will no longer be delivering these in large groups in our Lecture Theatre these will still be a regular part of the trainee experience. They will just be carried out in smaller groups or remotely. + What happens if there is a confirmed or suspected case in the school? There is a specific protocol in place for suspected or confirmed cases of coronavirus. Most importantly, the senior leadership team will review the details, immediately work with the local public health team and make a decision if students and/or staff are required to isolate. All parents will be notified in this instance. A deep clean will take place if there is a confirmed case. Click here to see the protocol. + What happens if there is another lockdown or students are required to isolate? If trainees are required to isolate but they are not ill, remote work will be set so their learning is uninterrupted. They will have access to their lessons, academic and pastoral support remotely while isolating. + Do I need to wear a mask while at ELAM? The latest advice is that face coverings are not compulsory, however, in areas in the school where congestion is likely, we are recommending that face coverings are worn by staff and trainees. Anyone wearing a face covering must follow the guidelines for putting on, wearing, taking off and either disposing or washing their face covering. Training has been provided to all staff and trainees. + Can ELAM test me for Coronavirus? In accordance with government guidance we provide lateral flow tests for all staff and trainees to take home. We also provide PCR tests to staff and trainees that require them following a lateral flow test.
