Ignite Your Success (16-18)
Covid-19 Update – April 21st 2021
We are delighted to have our 16-18 year-olds learners back in Centre following their use of lateral flow tests twice weekly. Test kits can be collected from our delivery Centres or from local test centres. Please note that in our delivery Centres all learners and staff are required to wear masks.
We look forward to welcoming our 19-24 learners back in due course. Further updates to these arrangements will be communicated to learners and posted on our website and social media pages.
We would like to reassure all our learners, as well as parents/carers and our wider stakeholders, that we are fully committed to doing everything we can to ensure no-one misses out on learning new skills, building confidence, receiving support, or gaining a qualification. Our online learning platforms will fully support Learners in ensuring there is no break in their learning and our Centres are fully Covid secure with regular risk assessments being undertaken and Covid secure measures in place. The safety, mental health and wellbeing of our learners and staff will continue to be our top priority.
All measures and decisions remain under constant review and will reflect the latest government guidelines. Thank you for your continued support during such challenging times.
