Since the March lockdown, there have been a number of changes to the list of who can go to school.
For instance, children with a 'lack of devices' 'should attend school'
The rollout of laptops was promised in the first lockdown. What happened to that?

In addition, hundreds of thousands of university/HE lecturers and support staff are now classified as 'critical workers'. Some of course are critical. Some less so.
So, we have extra pressure on school places. This will allow the virus to spread.
Government policy should be systematic.
Individual Government departments will want to maximize their own interests.
The PM and Cabinet are responsible for these trade offs and overall policy.

Is the guidance issued yesterday (not restricting places for newly-classified 'critical workers') a case of the left hand (DHSC) not knowing what the right hand (DfE) is doing?
Or is this a case of the left hand *knowing* what the right hand is doing?

The guidance has now been updated.
"parents and carers should keep their children at home if they can"
But the power to decide this seems to remain with the employer.
And lecturers etc. are still classified as 'critical workers'.
