The purpose of this pledge is to show that I will do whatever I can to support maintaining safe and healthy communities in which I live and learn. 

I know that health and safety is a shared responsibility and that COVID-19 is a shared risk.  Therefore, as a University of Bolton student – I pledge to my fellow students to: 

• Keep up to date on current, national and local government guidance and will frequently check the student FAQs for updates.  

• Follow strict personal hygiene guidelines in terms of frequent hand washing and utilising hand sanitiser when necessary. 

• Wear a face covering (over both my nose and mouth) whilst inside buildings on campus. 

• Remember that not all disabilities are seen – so someone not wearing a mask will most likely have a very valid reason.  

• Adhere to the one-way system that has been implemented on campus. 

• Respect my fellow students and University staff by abiding by the social distancing rules at all times. 

• Refrain from greeting my friends with physical contact such has hugs, fist pumps and handshakes. 

• Only come on to campus during my timetabled sessions and leave on time at the end of the session. 

• NOT to attend campus if I am displaying any symptoms of COVID-19, instead I will follow the current rules on isolating, take a COVID-19 test and if I have tested positive, I will notify the University and participate in the track and trace process. 

 

In addition to the above, I pledge to my local community that I will: 

• Wear a face covering whilst shopping in my local community and in any other areas as required by Government guidance. 

• Abide by current social distancing rules whilst visiting the pub including how many people I can socialise with outside my household. 

• Keep to the current rules about how many people from different households I can invite to my house / garden. 

• Do my best to make sure those I live with understand the rules in place.
