Answer:

You should follow best web practice.

  • Give files recognisable names (this helps with search engine optimisation) that are short while still retaining meaning
  • Do not use spaces in a filename (eg undergrad study.aspx) - use hyphens instead

  • Do not use any character that isn't a letter, number, dash or underscore (eg % ,*)
Answer:

Your business and/or research proposals can be based on either the UK market or abroad.

Answer:

We do not encourage people to challenge each other. Raise this calmly and respectfully if you are able – but only if you feel comfortable doing so. Where people observe behaviour or incidents which cause concern, they can, if they wish, report these through the COVID-19 incident reporting form.

One never knows what others are having to deal with; for example, there will be some who cannot wear a mask for a variety of reasons related to unseen disability, mental health or physical health.  Please remember this if you are concerned that someone isn’t following the guidance or adhering to the rules when they should. 

Answer:

Their positive test will have triggered the NHS Track and Trace process. You will be contacted by this service if required to isolate. The NHS Track and Trace process may not be able to reach all potential contacts as quickly as one might wish.  Check the government guidance on whether you may be considered a close contact of the infected person, and subsequently told to isolate. 

Answer:

You and everyone else in the household must isolate according to government guidelines and regulations. Notify the university that you are isolating, and encourage the affected member of the household to report their symptoms/positive test result to the university.

Answer:

Face coverings are mandatory in all indoor areas on campus unless at least one metre separation can be maintained. However, some people may be exempt from wearing a face covering. Some of those who are exempt may choose to wear a sunflower lanyard, which indicates they have a hidden disability.  One never knows what others are having to deal with.  Please remember this if you are concerned that someone isn’t wearing a mask in a setting where the guidance suggests they should. 

Those not wearing face coverings should ensure they remain one metre distant from others and if any of us feel someone is too close to us, we can ask them to respect social distance.

Answer:

You must isolate if someone in your household has had a positive test or is symptomatic. 

If someone in your household has been asked to isolate by NHS Track and Trace, but they have no symptoms, you do not need to isolate.  However, you must have as little contact with them as possible, and cannot have visitors to your home until their isolation period is complete. 

If they develop symptoms, you and the rest of your household must isolate for 14 days from the onset of those symptoms. 

More information on Track and Trace is available on the NHS website. 

Answer:

No. Please do not pause contact tracing unless you are wearing clinical grade PPE. While precautions such as social distancing and wearing face coverings reduces the chance of infection the app provides extra protection as it measures the risk score for individuals i.e. it can record if they are too close to someone for a certain period of time.

The app can really help to make a difference, alongside the precautions everyone is adhering to, in tracking interactions and intercepting virus transmission quickly.
