Following the recent government announcement (31st October 2020), we can confirm that the youth sector moves into RED on the readiness framework.
The RED readiness level allows the following activities only, subject to a COVID Secure Action Plan and Risk Assessment:

Youth sector providers are allowed to provide support and services to young people indoors during periods of RED readiness. Youth sector providers should work within the spirit of lockdown and must not provide open access/drop-in services at this time.
