Key Worker Information Update

Key Worker Information Update

Key worker parents can only request school based child care when it is not possible to care for the children at home. This is the guidance from the government.

This means that if it is at all possible for children to be at home, then they should be.

“Many parents working in these critical sectors may be able to ensure their child is kept at home. Every child who can be safely cared for at home should be.”

Please can you also help our community further by ensuring our children are not mixing socially in a way which can continue to spread the virus. We are also asking everyone to observe the same social distancing principles as adults.

If we are able to deliver the urgent childcare requested by critical key workers the following categories will be used:

Families where both parents are front line NHS key workers i.e. doctors and nurses 

Where a sole parent is a frontline NHS worker i.e. doctors and nurses 

Please help us in making our community as safe as it can possibly be!
