- have been directed to self isolate.

- As per our cancellation policy Kidsaver CPR will offer full refunds or transfer of bookings to another class if participants cannot attend due to any of the above.

- If at any time during the class a trainer is concerned that a participant is unwell, they will bring this to the participants attention, ask the COVIDSafe screening questions again and offer a refund or transfer to another class.

PHYSICAL DISTANCING

- The number of participants at each Kidsaver class will be capped to ensure strict physical distancing can be maintained. The number of participants permitted at each class will differ depending on the venue where the class will be held.
