Escape Studios update on meningitis

We have been made aware that an individual attending Escape Studios had been admitted to hospital after contracting meningitis. We understand that the individual is now recovering well, and our Student Services Team is offering support. This case is linked to the wider situation currently being managed in Kent. 

We have been working closely with the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) and local public health teams since being notified. 

This is a public health matter that is not specific to Escape Studios, and the response is being led by the UKHSA. As part of their standard protocol, UKHSA is carrying out contact tracing - close contacts of cases are being contacted directly by UKHSA and provided with advice on what to do next.
