Our guidance on COVID-19
Updated: 12 September 2022
Our priority is the health and safety of its students, staff, and visitors who visit and work inside our buildings. We follow the latest UK Government and NHS guidelines and are See It Safely Approved by the Society of London Theatre & UK Theatre (SOLT/UKT).
We continue to review our policies as these evolve and are working with the team at RB Health and Safety Solutions to develop a plan for us to continue work safely.
We advise any students and staff doing in-person work at RADA to familiarise themselves with the latest RADA COVID-19 Safety Policy available on our Sharepoint.
We will continue to review our activity schedule around training, courses, auditions and events in light of any further UK Government directives. If you are exempt from any of the current guidelines, we would appreciate it if you could advise front of house staff or reception upon your arrival.

Thank you.
