South Essex College Moodle

Masks on Campus

The government has announced that all Plan B measures will be removed in England, with a full return to Plan A by Thursday 27 January. For education this means face coverings are no longer required to be worn in classrooms / teaching areas.

Please note, the requirement to wear a face covering in communal areas of the college will remain in place until Thursday 27 January. Although it may no longer be a requirement to wear a face covering in classrooms/ team rooms, we understand some people may still wish to continue to wear one and we support this. We understand there are circumstances in which people may not be able to wear a face covering for medical reasons. If anyone is medically exempt they should speak to their tutor for an exemption pass. Thank you for your continued support.
