From 8 March, face-to-face teaching can take place either in the teacher's home or the pupil's, provided that lessons are being used to obtain a regulated qualification, to meet the entry requirements for an education institution (e.g. auditions), or to undertake exams and assessments. Lessons are subject to a risk assessment plus the usual mitigations and COVID-safe working practices. At this stage it is not clear whether adult face-to-face teaching can resume. Further updates will follow when more is known.
