Health and safety

The UAL position is to continue to strongly encourage the following on campus and in halls of residence:

• Frequent hand-washing and use of sanitiser stations
• Maintaining social distancing where it makes sense to do so (e.g. in crowded or less well-ventilated spaces)
• Regular testing (ideally twice a week) for staff and students
• Continuing to observe the UAL Community Pledge
• Taking personal responsibility to act sensibly

We also encourage you to participate in the NHS vaccination programme.

You'll find more guidance below.

Preparing our spaces

All across the University, you’ll find signage reminding you:

• to keep your distance
• to wear a face covering
• where you’ll need to wait for others to finish before you can proceed. For example, in a queue or some smaller spaces.

We are now using a 24-hour effective virus-eliminating product on our regular touch points on a daily basis (Monday to Friday).

We’ve also installed hand sanitising stations across the university to help you keep your hands clean and to reduce the spread of coronavirus. Please continue to wash hands your hands regularly whilst on site and make use of hand sanitising stations.

Travelling in London

You must continue to wear a face covering when using public transport.

This applies on the Tube, bus, tram, DLR, London Overground and TfL Rail networks; Dial-a-Ride services; the Emirates Air Line; and the Woolwich ferry.

Transport for London (TfL) also expects and recommends the continued use of face covering in taxis and private hire vehicles by both drivers and passengers unless they are exempt.

Read TfL's guidance on face coverings.

It’s important to plan your journey before leaving home, as some routes and lines are operating with reduced capacity.
