Making the People Powered Press' workshop Covid-safe

Although we’re opening the People Powered Press at the very moment restrictions are being lifted nationwide, we’re making sure that the workshop is designed and equipped to keep you safe and comfortable now, and in the event of any future developments.

So here’s what's being to make the People Powered Press a safe, creative place.

• Staff will be tested for Covid twice a week.
• Workshops which can take place in our covered outdoor space will do so.
• The capacity of all workshops has been capped to ensure that social distancing is possible and comfortable in the studio and in the outdoor workshop space.
• The space will be well ventilated, using our in-built extraction system and windows when needed.
• We have sanitiser stations around the space and there are wipes for cleaning surfaces and shared equipment.
• Masks will be worn inside the building if and when official guidance indicates that they should.
• We will provide perspex workspace dividers if and when official guidance indicates that we should.

We’ll regularly review all these measures against the latest government guidance, and we hope that this will reassure you that you’re in a comfortable, safe environment, and that we’re taking your safety very seriously indeed.
