Face coverings
Pupils (Primary and Secondary) will be expected to wear a face covering on school transport. Following the Welsh Government's announcement on 26 August 2020, we ask parents/guardians to ensure their child has a face covering in their school bag in case they will be asked to use it (secondary schools only). Individual school risk assessments will ask pupils to wear the cover if there are occasions when pupils are beyond their contact groups and when social distancing is not possible. It should be ensured that pupils have a 3-tier face cover.

Play areas
There are 86 community play areas in Ceredigion, 85 are owned or managed by Town and Community Councils or Community Groups, so the decision to reopen the play areas lies with them. One is owned by Ceredigion County Council, which is Netpool in Cardigan. The play area in Netpool will remain closed for the time being.
