covid-19 GUIDANCE & safety procedures to ensure a safe dojang environment.
We want the Dojang to be as safe as it possibly can for our members. By all of us following this guidance we hope to achieve that. We have produced this Risk Assessment to help our club comply with the current government guidelines. As they change so will this page so please keep checking for updates.
​
The responsibility for a safe environment is shared between the instructor and the members. Members must make their own risk assessment when it comes to the decision to train. Anyone should symptoms related to Covid 19, or those whom have been in contact with someone who has had Covid 19, or suspected of having the virus, must follow government guidelines on isolation and timescales.

Can all parents and students ensure they wear masks when entering and leaving the dojang as well as sanitising and keeping 2m apart at all times.
