Covid-19: Working safely with the Peace Foundation
Covid-19: Working safely with the Peace Foundation The Peace Foundation wants you to feel safe, confident, and reassured when you visit the Peace Centre or when our team works at your location. We are introducing several new measures to protect you and our team. Our commitments to you We adopt best practice in line with the latest guidelines from HM Government, the World Health Organisation, UNESCO, and our regulators and commissioners. We reserve the right to adopt additional practice steps that we deem to be necessary, proportionate, and safe. Visitors to the Peace Centre will experience a high level of bio-secure measures to balance safety without compromising the warm and friendly welcome people expect when they visit our building and grounds. Our refreshed approach to practice will adopt a ‘blended curriculum’ utilising remote learning and contact as appropriate based on need and risk. When we visit you or work at remote locations, we will adopt any local or organisation working practices as well as adopting the measures set out in this leaflet. The Peace Centre The Peace Centre, during the crisis lockdown is designated an NHS support facility and has adopted regulated protocols.

The Peace Centre has measures in place to enable anyone on site to abide by social distancing guidance. Our catering is rated as five stars for food hygiene which reflects the excellent standards we maintain on our premises. We are taking additional precautions during this time. We offer clean welfare facilities and hand washing points and sanitisers across the site, most bathrooms use push button taps, are well stocked with soap and paper hand towels. We will supervise young children to ensure they wash their hands for 20 seconds, more often than usual, with soap and water or hand sanitiser and catch coughs and sneezes in tissues. This practice will be mandatory and encouraged by all. Our team may wear personal protective equipment (PPE) if appropriate. A blended curriculum – an approach to distanced, and locational...
