Stay at home for seven days after symptoms started. After this, if you do not have a high temperature, you do not need to continue to self isolate. You do not need to continue to isolate if you just have a cough after seven days as a cough can continue for several weeks after the infection has cleared.
You must say at home for seven days. All other household members must stay at home and not leave the house for 14 days. The 14-day period starts from the day the first person in the household fell ill
The whole household needs to stay at home for seven days from when the most recent symptom appeared, regardless of where they are on in the original 14-day period.

Question 16 of 18

16. Question
Safe protocols for driver and rider trainers. Match the protocols to the correct title.
Sort elements
- Remote checking of the driving licence before lessons resume – limit need for physical checks in lessons. Call the pupils 24 hours before lesson to ascertain state of health. Brief pupils of the new norm of lessons – what to expect from you and what you expect from them. Brief pupils on any PPE to be used. Agree any new T&Cs. Warn them that cash will not be accepted and make other arrangements for payment.
- No handshakes. You will ask your client to wash their hands or use hand sanitiser immediately before the training session, assessment or test. Clients must supply their own masks and gloves. You will tell them that you will be keeping the windows open at all times and to wear appropriate clothing. You will advise them your car will be sanitised before they start training When using a client’s car, the client will need to sanitise their own vehicle to ensure it is safe. You will need to avoid using cash where possible as this can spread the virus. Use other methods of payment such as a bank transfer
- Once you arrive at the pick up point you should, again, assess whether your client is well enough to start the training session. Do not let them get into the car straight away. From a distance (min 2m) have a conversation with them to assess whether they seem themselves or have a cough that you did not notice on the phone call, or look like they may have a high temperature. If you are not 100% happy with their state you should not start the training session. Explain that the appointment will have to be postponed until they have recovered. This may be a difficult conversation but you should explain that you do not want to put yourself at risk (your T&Cs should be amended to cover this). Do this before every appointment you have.
- The training content and structure should remain the same as you would use to train any post-test driver. You need to make sure the training or assessment has client-centered aims and objectives and is appropriate for each individual. Any writing should be done by the trainer/examiner – where possible do not share a pen, if you do, clean with anti-bac wipes straight afterward. When requesting a client to sign anything, ask them to use their own pen where possible or clean your own pen with an anti-bac wipe. Training resources and paperwork should be held up and not passed between the two of you. Try to avoid directly facing each other when discussing scenarios and where possible debrief on tests outside the vehicle. If you are going to provide a demonstration drive on a training session, you will need to wipe down the controls before and after. If you are wearing gloves, then change the gloves just before and after the demo drive.
- When you move on to your next client appointment, you will need to repeat some of the same processes that you did with your previous client. Again remember not to shake the client’s hand. Clean your hands with hand sanitiser or soap and water where possible – do not enter the client’s house to do this. Remind them to wash their hands as soon as they get back into their house. Where you are using your own vehicle, agree to a drop off point where you can safely wipe the car down ready for the next training session or appointment or your journey home. Make contact with your next client and assess their state to avoid a wasted journey. Repeat the process for each and every client.
- Pre-lesson protocols
- New lesson/test protocols
- Lesson protocols
- During lesson/assessment protocols
- After lesson protocols

Question 18 of 18

- Avoid touching your face with your hands.
- Where possible use another vehicle you can use for your personal essential tasks – shopping and collecting medication
