Enhanced health and safety procedures have been put in place throughout the whole building. They Include shielded areas in reception, and several hand-sanitising stations in the common areas, and private waiting room. A full-time staff of cleaners use anti-bacterial spray on frequent touch points, such as door-handles, banister rails, seating, and of course in the toilets. All visitors are asked to follow the 2 metre social distancing guidelines.
