Reply To: Intimate Care guidelines for schools still open

[Niki]

Think that’s all nurses treating corona patients have tbh – they only get ppe when intubating!

But yes if person not unwell rusk is same as usual: if person seems unwell they need to go home in line with dfe guidance and remember schools are open only as last resort, dfe guidelines state *all* children safer at home – and we are interpreting this to mean only open to those who are *not* safer at home, which includes children of keyworkers where no other care options exist. The fewer people in school the lower the risk to all. They did *not* mean for special schools to remain wholly open, thus not reducing any risk at all to the vulnerable.
