Headteachers *can* legally support Clinically Vulnerable and CEV parents by registering children as a "Covid Related Absence" or "Exceptional Circumstances".

At risk parents shouldn't have to choose between their lives and education of kids

Please RT Some heads have supported after seeing the government response (that the decision is theirs)

Unfortunately official DfE guidance still remains that only CEV children are supported & CV/CEV parents (who may be more at risk due to age related risk) aren't.

Please RT Hampshire LEA is already doing this after threatening a CEV parent at a fines panel meeting. A team of lawyers from the Public Interest Law Centre turned up in support and new guidelines were issued the following day to revoke previous fines and to support learning.
