This page provides links to risk assessments and associated guidance that St Catherine’s College has produced in order to ensure the safety and students during the Covid-19 pandemic.
It has been produced by reference to guidance provided by HM Government, Public Health England, the NHS, the Health and Safety Executive and Universities UK, templates formulated by, and discussions that have taken place at the Domestic Bursars’ Committee of the Conference of Colleges. The College has also based its documentation on advice provided by the University of Oxford. The College’s Safety Committee, with extensive staff representation, has been involved in the approval of this documentation.
The heart of the College’s documentation are its General Risk Assessment and Guidance (2.1 and 2.2). Where “area specific” additional guidance has been found to be necessary this is included below. In some areas, the general guidance is not felt to need additions at the moment.
In devising material to cover complex issues such as those thrown up by the Covid-19 pandemic there is always the possibility for improvement and amendment based on the knowledge and experience of others. We encourage anyone consulting these documents who feels that something is missing or is need of change to contact bursar@stcatz.ox.ac.uk.
