ALERT LEVELS IN WALES - HOCKEY GUIDANCE

In December 2020 the Welsh Government published the updated Coronavirus Control Plan: Alert Levels in Wales. In response to this, Hockey Wales has reviewed all Covid-19 guidance and aligned it with the national alert level framework accordingly.

The framework sets out four alert levels, aligned with the measures the Government will put in place to control the spread of the virus and protect people’s health, depending on the state of coronavirus across Wales and other key indicators.

At all times, national organisations, clubs and coaches will need to remain flexible. As a club, you might find that you move back and forth between levels dependent on the course of the virus and subsequent Government regulations.   

We will continue to provide updates based on Government guidance – please see below the current level and the implications this has for hockey in Wales.

It is now a requirement for your club committee to appoint a COVID-19 Officer and inform Hockey Wales who this person is before you return to train / play. The Officer will be the key implementer and central point of contact for all matters COVID-19 for the club. 

The Covid-19 Officer will ensure that your club, with the support of the management committee, undertakes all requirements as provided by the Welsh Government and Hockey Wales, to ensure the safety of your members in these unprecedented times.
 
The Officer will fulfil the role of liaising with other clubs, associations, local and National Sporting Organisations and other relevant stakeholders in relation to your organisation’s response to COVID-19.
