Our collective safety is priority number one. If you can wear a mask please do so, especially indoors or in crowded areas.
If you need interpretation support as others will be masking, please let us know in advance via [email protected].
For those who use lip-reading, do make yourselves known when you arrive.
We are unsure as to whether MPs will mask, but will have hand sanitiser and masks available throughout the venue.
Aside from precautions around viruses, we ask anyone who is unwell or experiencing any symptoms of Covid-19, flu, or colds to not attend for the safety of others.

Stewards will be on hand throughout the day to help things run smoothly. They’ll guide you into Westminster, show you where facilities like toilets and the quiet room are, and talk you through key points to raise with your MP.
Quiet Room
A quiet room will be available in Room W2 and stewards can guide you there. Westminster Hall may get busy and noisy, so please use the quiet room whenever you need.

When you get to Westminster, all the surrounding tube stations and buses have wheelchair access. The quiet room will be located in room W2 and is accessible via stair lift.
When you arrive at the Cromwell Park Entrance, there will be a steward outside to show you where to go.
