Track and Trace for Community Football teams

Our Walking football group has been issued a swanky new QR code for people to scan when they attend training sessions. Easy to print off poster - all good.

Except each individual player has to download the ap, which only works on phones more up to date than an i phone 6.

I'm guessing 50% of our players are still on Nokias 3310s!

 

what happens if they dont scan it into the app then - doesn that mean they cant walk with you or can you just record their details

 

We've been warned there could be fines for clubs not using the system!

 

This is what we have had from the FA.

We wanted to draw your attention to the Government's recently updated guidance on test and trace, and specifically a new section on the use of QR codes. This has important implications for you and requires action.


By maintaining records of staff, customers and visitors, and displaying an official NHS QR poster, you will help NHS Test and Trace to identify and notify people who may have been exposed to the virus.

You must register for an official NHS QR code and display the official NHS QR poster from 24 September 2020.

The NHS COVID-19 app has a feature that allows users to quickly and easily 'check in' to your venue by scanning the code. The information stays on the user's phone. In England, you do not have to ask people who choose to 'check in' using the official NHS QR code to provide their contact details. If there is an outbreak associated with a venue, a message will be sent to the relevant app users with the necessary public health advice.

This will help to avoid the reintroduction of lockdown measures and support the country to return to, and maintain, a more normal way of life.

In addition to maintaining and sharing records where requested and displaying an official NHS QR poster, you must also continue to follow other government guidance to minimise the transmission of COVID-19. This includes maintaining a safe working environment and following social distancing guidelines.



The relevant settings this applies to are:

- clubs providing team sporting activities
- facilities for use by elite and professional sportspeople (including sports stadia)
- indoor sport and leisure centres
- cafes, including workplace canteens
- bars, including bars in hotels or members' clubs

Please note this updated guidance comes into effect from the 24th September and failure to comply will result in Government issued fines.

 

So my reading of that is that you have to provide a QR code for people to scan - those that scan thats all you need to do - for those that dont scan you need to record contact details.

Must admit I am not putting the app on my phone straight away - want to be clear what is happening with the data and at the moment I have no clue but I am sure you can for example go into a pub and as long as they have your contact details no one has done anything wrong

 

Yes, you're probably right - it's so like the FA to want to get everyone's details onto the ap though (the accompanying info is URGENT ACTION REQUIRED etc). Should see the rigmarole we had to go through just for our team to play a fixture at St George's Park in Sheffield - and as for their "Whole Game system" - they want to know everything about you!

 

On the poster it generates, it says Download the NHS Covis 19 Ap from Apple Ap Store or Google Play store.

 

I can't download the Ap. It's going really well.......

 

Yep, might have saved a bit of faffing about!
