New UK school guidance: "Our priority is for you to deliver face-to-face, high-quality education to all pupils. The evidence is clear that being out of education causes significant harm to educational attainment, life chances, mental and physical health." gov.uk/government/pub…
"Individuals are not required to self-isolate if they live in the same household as someone with COVID-19, or are a close contact of someone with COVID-19, and any of the following apply:
-they are fully vaccinated
-they are below the age of 18 years and 6 months"
"Face coverings are no longer advised for pupils, staff and visitors either in classrooms or in communal areas."
"Given the detrimental impact that restrictions on education can have on children and young people, any measures in schools should only ever be considered as a last resort, kept to the minimum number of schools or groups possible, and for the shortest amount of time possible."
