DfE guidance says that schools are not expected to create NHS QR code posters for their entrance or their classrooms as they have registers of all the children and staff on site. Further information is available on the Bulletin Board at the above link.
Please see the Bulletin Board at the above link for a briefing note and risk assessment template details the approach that needs to be taken to support attendance for vulnerable children and undertake the appropriate risk assessments. This process builds on previous guidance and is an essential part of ensuring that vulnerable children across the county are protected and have access to the support they need.
This week, the Department for Education is offering several school-led webinars on remote education to help share good practice with school leaders in primary and secondary schools. This is to support schools that are looking for help to improve the quality of their remote education provision in line with the expectations set out in the actions for schools during the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak guidance.
If the weather allows, keeping windows and doors open to get some ventilation from outside is a good method of reducing risk in classrooms, but you will already be mitigating the risks in lots of other ways (personal hygiene, cleaning, minimising contacts and mixing etc.) so there is no reason for a class to sit in a cold room. Please see the Bulletin Board for additional information.
We are asking all schools to sign up a new Data Sharing Agreement to so that we can continue to share vital data and information in a secure way. The Data Sharing Agreement (DSA) explains the range of data and information covered by the agreement and how the data and information is expected to be used.
