We have also been working alongside our umbrella body ACRE (Action with Communities in Rural England) as part of a national steering group to produce guidance for the reopening of community buildings post COVID-19 closure. The latest versions of these guides can be downloaded below:

Information Sheet – Re-opening Village and Community Halls post COVID-19 closure updated 20/07/20

Sample COVID-19 Risk Assessment for re-opening Village and Community Halls updated 20/07/20

Sample Risk Assessment for Hirers updated 20/07/20

On 30th June the Government released their ‘Guidance for the safe use of multi-purpose community facilities’ document which can be accessed here

This guidance has been produced to support organisations to consider their legal responsibilities under Health and Safety Law and the Health Protection legislation. It outlines the current thinking on managing the safe reopening of community buildings for specific activities.
