FAQS

  • What guidelines are you following?

Our teenage groups, trainings and in-person events are necessary for JourneymanUK to perform its function of growing communities to mentor young men.

We are following the Government Guidelines (see section 2.9):

Where and when you can meet in larger groups

“There are still circumstances in which you are allowed to meet others from outside your household, childcare or support bubble in larger groups, but this should not be for socialising and only for permitted purposes. A full list of these circumstances will be included in the regulations, and includes: for work, or providing voluntary or charitable services, where it is unreasonable to do so from home. This can include work in other people’s homes where necessary – for example, for nannies, cleaners, social care workers providing support to children and families…”

Alongside Government guidance we are also taking expert from the Nation Youth Agency’s COVID-19 Guidance.
