Coronavirus update - Children and Youth Activities

In the past week, the Government has published the guidance relevant for children and youth activities in church. FIEC National Director John Stevens helps explain the guidance for church leaders planning Sunday School and other children's clubs.

Q&A questions:

• Do leaders count in the 15 parents allowed in out-of-school settings?
• Is it '5 and under' or '5 and over' in the age guidance?
• Do we know when the places of worship guidance will change? How should churches plan for this?
• Wil we able to sing any time soon - indoors or outdoors?
• Should the vaccination roll-out change our response to the over 70s in our churches?
• When do you think we will be able to gather for a church meeting or AGM?
• When does the 'exceptional circumstances' guidance change for weddings?
• Will churches be able to do summer camps this year?
