Guidance for schools, colleges and local authorities on maintaining educational provision has been published today. The guidance states that if your work is critical to the COVID-19 response, or if you work in one of the critical sectors and you cannot keep your child safe at home, then your children will be prioritised for education provision.
Critical sectors include health and social care, education and childcare, key public services, local and national government, food and other necessary goods, public safety and national security, transport, utilities, communication and financial services.
