Terms and Conditions for COVID-19
What is coronavirus (COVID-19)?
Coronaviruses are a family of viruses that cause disease in animals and can be transmitted to humans. They can range from the common cold to acute respiratory forms
Novel coronavirus (COVID-19) is a new strain of coronavirus that affects your lungs and airways
What are the signs and symptoms and how does it spread?
COVID-19 symptoms include:
Cough: a new, continuous cough
High temperature: this means you feel hot to touch on your chest or back, or you have measured your temperature and recorded a high result (typically above 38°C is considered a fever)
Unexplained loss of taste or smell
Shortness of breath
Muscle aches
Sore throat
Diarrhoea
Headache
How does it spread?
Coronavirus is primarily spread by small droplets that are expelled from the nose and mouth when someone that is infected coughs, sneezes or speaks
This can then be breathed in by others or picked up from surfaces and transferred from your hand to your eyes, nose or mouth if you touch them
What are we doing to ensure the Health and Safety of our students
To ensure we protect all our students, our cars and equipment will receive a deep clean before we return to training.
Before/after each lesson/test the car will be cleaned, including:
Door handles (inside and out) – grab handles – window controls – door mirror controls
Seats and seat adjustment controls – seatbelt – buckle and clasp
Gear lever – hand/parking brake and the interior mirror
Bonnet catch (internal and external)
Other controls such as Sat Nav – ventilation – window demister
Car keys
Students will be asked a number of questions before they enter the vehicle and this may include their temperature being taken by a non-contact body thermometer
If for any reason the student is showing any signs of the Coronavirus the lesson will be terminated either at the start or during the lesson.
Pupils responsibility before each lesson
You will be required to stand two metres away and confirm the following questions about your health:
Symptoms of Covid-19 – have you had it, been tested for it, and had results of the test?
Shielding – are you in a household of family members that are in the enhanced risk health categories?
Any health issues which may impact your ability to drive?
Do you have a continuous cough?
Do you have a fever or high temperature?
You will be required to wash your hands thoroughly for at least 20-seconds before leaving the house and entering the car and you should wash your hands after your lesson
You can wear gloves, (but these should be put on just before you enter the vehicle and the instructor must see you put them on). However general advice is that good hand hygiene is better than gloves, which provide a false sense of security
You will be asked to wear a mask. You should supply your own mask, but if you do not have one, your instructor will supply you with one of theirs
You will need to sanitise your hands again when entering the vehicle (you can use your own or we will supply)
All items, such as mobile phones and house keys will have to stay on you and not left on the dashboard or put into door pockets.
Any bags you bring, for onward journey must go in the boot Driving lessons can only be delivered in the driving school car (this may be the same for driving tests, but the DVSA has not confirmed this)
Lessons will need to be of two-hour duration until the crisis abates. This is so that an instructor who needs to work for eight hours does not need to expose themselves to the increased risk of meeting more clients in a day than is absolutely necessary
Cancellations
Cancellations for any reason other than Coronavirus will be the subject to the normal notice period and chargeable. Any cancellations that occur where the basis of the cancellation is suspected Covid-19 are not subject to the same conditions. If you or anyone you are living with have any Symptoms you MUST cancel your driving lesson before your lesson start time. There will be no charge for this even if this is a late cancellation. Once cancelled you will not be able to restart your lessons until you have been tested negative, or follow the Government isolation recommendations (this is the same for the instructor).
