All,

Following a meeting of the District Executive last week we can now announce the process of approving Covid-19 risk assessments as detailed in our policy here.

In addition to ensuring the appropriate measures are in place to mitigate Covid-19, Sections will only be allowed to restart face to face Scouting if they have also met the requirements set out in POR relating to Appointments and safety related Training.

The District’s approval panel plans to meet every Tuesday evening from 25^th August onwards until further notice.

Groups that have already submitted their Covid risk assessments via Smartsheets will not necessarily need to resubmit them, but may be contacted for additional information prior to them being approved.

The District team is committed to working with Groups to ensure we deliver safe and enjoyable Scouting for all our Members, so please contact myself of the approval team if you have any queries or concerns.

Mark
