Another excellent, practical resource for school heads to use to improve mitigation w/in UK schools.
As approx 10M ppl mix w/ virtually none of this in place it’s hard to believe that it won’t result in kicking off another #COVID19 surge w/ a BIG BANG! 1/8

Everyone able to effect change should read it & consider which side of the DEBATE they wish to be in over next few months.
False reassurances about the use of #lateralflowtests by the government & those prepared to support them on TV/media have attempted to hide to truth. 2/

Celebrity #antimaskers have continued to apply pressure & w/ the help of #Tory backed #UsForThem have successfully made #Masksinclass an OPTION, whilst children across the world, as young as 6 #WearAMask at school w/ out complaint or issue.
Dangerous #BritishExceptionalism! 3/

Threats, penalties & ending access to remote learning, esp for children w/ CV/CEV family members, have soured discussions significantly, driving a great big wedge between some schools & the very children the GVMT purport to care about.
Anxiety levels have understandably risen.4/

The excessive spending over the past yr on #PPE & #SercoTestAndTrace has made it crystal clear that if the GVMT want to invest in something, money can be found.
Just imagine what improvements could’ve been done to schools w/ £37 BILLION?
The political will is just not there! 5/

So there we have it, the BIG BANG #schoolsreopening that @BorisJohnson wanted.
#covidvariants circulating, inadequate border controls & woeful #TestTraceIsolate.
Virtually no mitigations in place in schools & many indoor workplaces.
What could possibly go wrong?! 6/

Please share the above advice widely, to anyone in education, to your local schools & to your MP.

There is still time to take action & #MakeSchoolsSafe.
