• If you have been told by the NHS Test and Trace service that you’ve been in contact with a person who has the virus.
• You have entered or returned to the UK in the last 10 days, except in very limited situations – you may not have to self-isolate if you’re arriving in England from a country or territory on the travel corridors list.

• Limited contact between instructor/trainer and client/pupil.
• Trainer to make hand sanitizer and gloves available.

• If you’re clinically extremely vulnerable, you should have received a letter telling you that you’re in this group or have been told by your GP, our advice is that you restart training later when shielding will be paused.

Wearing of Face Masks, Coverings, and PPE.

Wearing of face masks or other covering by the client/pupil or the trainer must be worn unless you have a good reason not to. This includes if:

• You have a physical or mental illness or impairment, or a disability that means you cannot put on, wear or remove a face covering
• Putting on, wearing, or removing a face covering would cause you severe distress
• You need to remove it during your test to avoid harm or injury or the risk of harm or injury to yourself or others

You need to say if you have a good reason not to wear a face-covering when you arrange your training. Your training will be canceled if you come without a face covering, The driving trainer may also choose to wear gloves and use disposable seat covers during the training, these will be reviewed as per Government and Public Health England guidelines.
