Here in CLD we take our responsibility in keeping our staff and attendees safe during these times. Our 1^st priority is assessing the need for face to face training or if the learning outcomes can be met by delivering training in another means. Please use the below guidance for help on this matter.

Facilitator Risk Assessment Guide for Face to Face Delivery

If COVID -19 is not introduced in the facility it cannot spread. We ask all attendees, including facilitators and speakers to complete a COVID-19 Personal Assessment Form to assess their suitability to attend prior to coming to CLD. This may be self-assessed and not need to be returned

COVID-19 Personal Assessment Form

Or if deemed necessary by your facilitator assessed and returned to CLD prior to attendance.

COVID-19 Personal Declaration Assessment Form

N.B. If your situation changes after you complete the form you must re-assess your fitness to attend and inform your facilitator.
