New Guidelines for Emergency Childcare.
Dear Parent/Carer,
We have had new guidelines today regarding the emergency childcare for essential workers. We have now been told that BOTH parents have to be essential workers for a child to qualify for care in school. In addition, there should be NO other alternative childcare available so please ensure you have exhausted all other options. By doing so we can ensure the safety of staff, pupils and their families.
The essential workers list is as follows:
- Essential social care sectors.
- To education and childcare staff, including social workers.
- NHS staff
- Key public services, i.e. those responsible for the management of the deceased.
Local and national government
- This only includes those administrative occupations essential to the effective delivery of the COVID-19 response, or delivering essential public services, such as the payment of benefits.
Food and other necessary goods
- This includes those involved in food production, processing, distribution, sale and delivery.
Public safety and national security
- This includes police and support staff, fire and rescue service employees (including support staff) and prison and probation staff.
Transport
- This includes those who will keep the road and rail passenger and freight transport modes operating during the COVID-19 response, including those working on transport systems through which supply chains pass.
Many thanks,
Helen Woodford
