IMO #teachers & #earlyyears staff settings are being SACRIFICED to give an illusion of “SAFETY”. The Gvmt know that if the majority of parents realise these settings are the places where they are likely to catch #coronavirus from, many will not want to their kids to go. 1/9

They’re keen to perpetuate the belief that there is “nothing to see here” in order to keep the work force working.
I’m not naive, I know the economic fallout from more things locking down won’t be good. But w/ so many children in school #Lockdown3 will go on for longer. 2/

Think #Chernobyl.
The men on the roof. Sacrificed to show the world that those in charge knew what they were doing. This is the same.
How many teachers have had #COVID19 ? How many have died? The full stats remain illusive. They are our family, friends & community members. 3/

Families repeatedly reassured that children are safe. Thankfully few become seriously ill, but more cases means more will be seriously ill.
Transmission FROM children stats kept under the radar.
The reality is stark, despite #Dfe advice to the contrary.4/

Despite acknowledgement of a new highly contagious #CovidVariant and this👇, @educationgovuk advice remains lax & inadequate.
@GavinWilliamson remains inadequate.
Schools & early years settings remain unsafe, children, staff & families. 5/

If you can manage your kids at home right now, please do, whatever their age. If you’ve a spare/unused #Laptop offer it to your local school. If you’ve a safe empty space that teenagers could study in consider offering it as a #SafeSpaceToLearn.
Let’s think outside the box! 6/

Encourage children to #WearAMask in classrooms. Secondary staff & kids should (w/ exemptions). IMO 6+ yrs could too. We teach them to tie their shoes, to cross the road. They can wear #masks. After 9m, ALL staff should.
Masks don’t do long term harm but they do #SaveLives 7/

The Gvmt have repeatedly failed our children, families & staff across educational & childcare settings.
We must push for staff in schools & #earlyyears settings to receive #vaccination as a priority. We must fight to get those #laptopsforkids & look for #SafeSpacesToLearn. 8/
