Hello all,
We have been asked, and in the light of yesterday's Government announcement, please find our updated draft risk assessment to hopefully cover many of the issues you are now faced with to make provision for a restricted number of pupils in the categories described, while the majority are asked to stay at home.
We appreciate this is a huge challenge and more explanation will be very helpful but it does represent an important contribution to helping flatten the curve of infection and protect the vulnerable as far as possible.
In the mix you have more issues to take into account and handle sensitively such as staff who live with the vulnerable, have vulnerabilities themselves, on top of those who indeed already have it themselves, who in the vast majority will shake it off over 7 days and will then be available for work and resistant to further infection, of course.

In case you haven't spotted it on the Medications side of things:
Ibuprofen and the family of drugs of the same type:
There is currently no strong evidence that Ibuprofen can make coronavirus (COVID-19) worse. But until there is more information, take paracetamol to treat the symptoms of coronavirus, unless the doctor has said paracetamol is not suitable.
If someone is already taking Ibuprofen or another non-steroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAID) on the advice of a doctor, do not stop taking it without checking first.

Asprin should not be taken either, subject to the doctor checks advice above.
Ofsted inspections
Good to see Ofsted inspections are being halted to "remove unnecessary burdens" on schools, as the Education Secretary Gavin Williamson confirmed.
More will emerge!
There will inevitably be more information and angles emerging nationally, as well as those that confront you locally. As many of you have been doing, get in touch if you need to as we may be able to assist with advice and an answer or three, or maybe just some reassurance during these difficult times where the pressure is at its highest on you.
Don't forget in the mix look after yourselves too!
Bill
