Schools

Closed them longer over October half term, remote learn for year groups outside of key exams.

Repeated over Christmas.

Any options now have been removed, no way can they open now but as per usual, government leaving it to the last minute just to cause the most chaos.

Oh and also provide adequate additional funding to support schools in providing a safe place to teach.

Double oh, sack Gavin Williamson.
 
Close them- and employees should already being to take legal action against the government for allowing them into a potentially lethal environment.
For goodness sake, no employee would be allowed to enter a potentially contaminated atmosphere at work without risk assessments and PPE

Similar to the above, but add school staff to those required to receive the vaccine. They are expecting staff to train to mass test students on a weekly basis and will be offered a plastic screen, a pair of gloves for protection and 1500 soldiers for support between 32,000 schools.

If this were America there would be lawsuits flying about all over, directed at the government, for corporate negligence.
 
They plan to invoke Section 44 of the Employment rights act which involves health and safety at work.
I can see some schools not opening and some school workers refusing to work.
Think I also saw the head teachers union, telling heads not to take any action against teachers who don’t attend due to feeling unsafe.
 
I have got to declare a vested interest in this. My son is a teacher with type 1 diabetes so he is in the extremely vulnerable group.
I was worried when he was at school before Christmas but now with the new variant which is much more prevalent in children he is even more at risk
Thankfully with us being in tier 4 he will be able to shield at home... But his child will go to nursery.

I don’t think I’d be sending the child to nursery, could the child catch the virus there??
 
I think we all have a vested interest, not to distract from your very valid point. That’s to keep everyone as safe as possible.
 
Sadly local authorities, Headteacher’s and parents will have to end up doing the governments job for them and ensure sense prevails. It is shocking this has to be the case but yet another clear example should we need it of the inept rudderless government we have at the moment

This is certainly the time to stand up and say enough is enough, like you say, sad that the people have to make the decision.

It's coming; Bolton local authority have stopped secondary schools starting any testing and are meeting Mon afternoon to discuss. By then the u-turn will have happened as it's utter chaos as usual with this lot.
