COVID-19 Protection Framework

Bricks 4 Kidz Programmes and Services under the Traffic Light System

Bricks 4 Kidz is committed to the providing safe and healthy spaces for our students and employees in line with government requirements. Bricks 4 Kidz operates two different types of service; Educational Programmes and Events (Holiday Programmes, Corporate Events, Birthday Parties etc), both of which require our staff to be vaccinated.

Bricks 4 Kidz as Education Providers

Our staff fall under the Education Sector vaccination mandate and who have contact with children under the age of 12 who cannot yet be vaccinated. Because of this you can be assured that if your child joins a Bricks 4 Kidz class, their teacher, as well as all the staff in our centres or in other areas of the business are vaccinated too.

As an events venue which requires the My Vaccine Pass for all eligible attendees (those over 12 years old), the vaccine mandated extends to our staff that work in this setting too. If you book a birthday party or event with Bricks 4 Kidz, or your child attends a holiday programmes, you have piece of mind of knowing that all staff are vaccinated.
