Managing youth sector activities and spaces during COVID-19
The National Youth Agency (NYA) as the Professional Statutory and Regulatory Body for youth work in England has developed youth sector specific advice and guidance. The guidance will support local providers, leaders, volunteers and young people to remain safe when engaging in youth sector activities. It is intended to guide the youth sector in opening up services for young people at the right pace and time.
This guidance must be used in conjunction with the readiness framework and your existing safeguarding policies and procedures. It is complementary to government guidance on social distancing, travel and other measures which must be adhered to.
From 2nd December the Readiness Level moves to YELLOW.
All young people will be able to attend indoor or outdoor activities. Youth provision for young people of all ages, both under and over 18 years of age, have the same requirements.
All youth provision may meet indoors or outdoors without limitations on group size. The regulations no longer require youth sector providers to limit their bubble sizes to a maximum number of attendees.
However, the NYA requires providers to review their Action Plans and Risk Assessments and take steps to reduce the risk of community transmission. For example, consider how to manage groups of young people to a manageable number to minimise the risk of transmission.
Online/digital, detached/outdoor and 1-2-1 youth sector provision will remain available to all young people.
Trips and visits are be permitted. Travel by minibus, taxi, public transport, or private car (subject to safeguarding) are permitted. The youth sector's goal at all times should be to minimise the risk of COVID transmission.
Face coverings to be worn by everyone aged 11+ unless medically exempt.
Overnight and residential experiences are permitted. The same measures apply to all age groups.
International travel should be reviewed in line with Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office travel advice and providers aware the requirements may change at any time. Please refer to the full guidance document for further detail.
