A thread for our CEV CV families on how to work with #Schools.
1. Following @JolyonMaugham @GoodLawProject meeting we are advising NOT to deregister.
2. Forced to off roll is illegal, do let us know if you find yourself in this position.
3. Try to maintain school relationship.. 4. We have had success in asking for breathing space, of 4-6 weeks then to review. Do this by email.
5. As hard as it is keep communication emotionless. Stick to the facts.
6. Speak to you clinicians!! The blanket decision to remove children CEV status may not include your child

Thread. 1. Cases rising rapidly among school children and their parents who have not been vaccinated or only partially vaccinated. Teenagers with serious health conditions who are mixing with 100s each day and not yet vaccinated. 2. Hundreds of thousands of children in school with chronic illnesses who previously had to shield. Families are worried and fed up. Children told to take masks off. Very little mention of long covid in children, even children without health conditions are suffering terribly.

Thread - 1.
Today A National day of reflection has been organised by end-of-life charity Marie Curie for us to come together and remember those who have died during the coronavirus pandemic and to support those who have lost loved ones. 2. A year ago today we entered our first national lockdown, since then life has changed more than most of us could ever have imagined. New words we never knew even existed have become part of our daily vocabulary such as: ‘furlough’ ‘social distancing’ and ‘shielding’.
