Does anyone attend / teach in FE?

there's loads in the news about schools returning but very little about FE that I can find.

Mine has been very quiet about plans but some of my classes last year were 30 students- our classrooms are tiny!

Wondering about mask wearing etc and what we do if we set the expectation but students don't want to.

I’m in FE but go into students’ workplaces. I’ve no idea even if those workplaces will want me back in. We were told no masks, but this has changed due to our location. Sadly, not been very well supported or communicated with through this whole thing.

Teacher here. We've been told to prepare for virtual teaching until Christmas but we may be in. To be honest I haven't managed that as I'm on annual leave and online prep takes flipping ages.
Teaching staff not on site for exam results, interviews or admissions in August for first time ever. MIS and admissions are handling somehow. No idea and don't care as I have enough to do lol.

Think my college is holding off making a definitive decision which I think is wise.
We have switched units around to front load the theoretical ones in autumn and defer practical ones where possible. I teach science and only so much we can do by remote teaching unfortunately.

Sorry had trouble logging in.

We still don't know whether we're expected in for results day. Our recruitment over summer has been virtually non existent and I'm starting to worry about our jobs.
