.@JackLopresti 1.4 million children are at risk of going hungry over #halfterm. As your constituent I’m urging you to vote on Wednesday to extend Free School Meals over school holidays. @NEUnion
Advice for schools today; “Primary pupils do not and have not needed to be kept apart in the classroom, and we are encouraging primary heads to use the capacity they have and the flexibility we have given them to bring more groups of children back into school” 😳😳😳What?!!!
@educationgovuk Can you clarify how we protect our children if one of their ‘protective bubble’is positive? Why will not all in their bubble then be eligible for testing? If not, all will have to self isolate.
@NEUnion There is a lot of focus on track and trace, but more still needs to happen about testing available for children or staff in the small classes or ‘pods’ if one member of the pod tests positive. Not enough for other members of a pod to only be able to be tested if showing symptoms.
The UK's leading body of doctors has backed the @NEUnion in raising concerns over schools reopening, arguing that a "second spike" of #coronavirus cannot be risked
