Contradicting yourself with facts and scientific data that aren’t actually true. An attempt to persuade parents and carers that schools communities are risk free bubbles. We’ll expect schools to open; when you do that with a rephased opening of parliament.

"We can guarantee that steps are being taken to ensure children and those who work in schools are as safe as possible."

Michael Gove says children are 'less likely' to have serious symptoms of #COVID19, but protective measures must still be taken.

The U.K. @10DowningStreet is ignoring the new cases of this inflammatory syndrome. They don’t know enough about the syndrome though it’s rapidly increasing but still insistent on schools opening. As parents and carers we demand more time.

Doctors in Italy have become the latest to raise the alarm over a worrying spike in children getting sick with a rare but serious inflammatory syndrome they say is tied to the coronavirus pandemic https://t.co/5iuQQgU3Cd

[Parents and Carers for Children in Schools @pcforcs]

Low degree is not no degree, we still don’t know enough about the inflammatory syndrome affecting children. This Kawasaki like syndrome kills about 2-3% all cases and is more difficult to catch than COVID.

[Tes magazine @tes]

There is a "low degree of confidence" that children transmit the virus less than adults, according to the @educationgovuk and #SAGE

Time studying vs the mental health and well being of our children in a global crisis? Short sighted articles do not articulate the concerns and priorities of parents and carers

As parents and carers we recognise the amazing work that schools do. They’re work exceptionally hard to do their best where that be physically or virtually. There may be inequality but nothing life long learning won’t fix. Choosing statistics over safety is not the option.

Keeping schools closed in England will widen inequalities – study https://t.co/NyT8Y5Yp3c

Once MPs return to parliament, in proportion we’ll expect our children to go back. Don’t be cowards and sacrifice our children and school communities when you are happy to continue on zoom. Our children are not a gamble, our school communities can’t be sacrificed.

Deputy chief medical officer also sought to reassure profession by pointing to lower infection rate saying 'teachers should not be thinking that every school is likely to be swarming with cases' https://t.co/0rQkFZemGB

Gove is not looking at this from a perspective of a parent or carer. Goverment policy and action has a very different priority to that the needs of our children. For our children, the top priorities are safety and well being.

@bbceducation As parents and carers we deem it is not safe for our children to return to school. Assurance & actions are needed, operational & logistical for which the pressure is on the school. Most importantly we need contact tracing in place. What about the increase of Kawasaki in children?

As parents and carers our top priority is the well being and safety of our children. We care about our children’s futures, education is an integral part but the world is in this together. Heard of life long learning?

Safety is everyone’s top priority. We can’t sacrifice our children to an environment which is not safe and risks have not been properly assessed or motivated

When will UK schools reopen – and how will they keep children safe? https://t.co/U0eHcBI3LB

[Parents and Carers for Children in Schools @pcforcs]

@tes Our children are not pressure houses for the assessment and performance measures enforced on schools. Life long learning and a passion for learning is what our children need

[Parents and Carers for Children in Schools @pcforcs]

@adamboxer1 Our teachers are passionate practitioners of their vocation, supporting our children’s education. First protections have to be put in place, without these as parents and carers we can’t put the school community at risk

[Parents and Carers for Children in Schools @pcforcs]

Our children have done their bit 1) learning at home 2) sacrificed birthdays and party’s 3) missed their time with friends @10DowningStreet @educationgovuk do your bit 1) more testing 2) contact tracing 3) operational strategies. Our children aren’t your experiment

[Parents and Carers for Children in Schools @pcforcs]

As parents and carers, will also advocate our responsibility to keep our children safe by keeping them at home. Our children will not be used in a gamble, their lives are not a game. Teachers will also be able to refuse.
