Updates to Guidance for Schools and ELC childminder and school age childcare services
Key changes in the guidance for schools are based upon the evolving balance of risks following the emergence of the Omicron variant and include:
• A strengthened approach to minimising contacts, primarily through the reintroduction of groupings where practicable indoors
• Tightened restrictions on school visitors, including a return to parent councils and other activities being precluded from operating on the school estate
• Updated guidance on the required approach to ventilation and CO2 monitoring, including clarification of some key points based on user feedback
• Updated text on asymptomatic testing, specifically the processes to be followed when distributing test kits
• A strengthened approach to self-isolation for high risk / household contacts, whereby they are required to self-isolate for 10 days regardless of age, vaccination status or a negative PCR result
• Details relating to school staff eligibility for exemption from self-isolation under the critical worker guidance
• An update to guidance on school visits and trips in order to reflect the above ‘in school’ mitigations
• A requirement that schools and local authorities continue to provide essential in-person support for particular groups (including vulnerable children and young people) in the event of temporary school closures at a local level
