Back to school survey

The government has announced children will start to go back to school next week (from Monday 8 March). We bet children (and some parents) are really excited.

We would love to hear views from parents and children in our survey. We know schools have worked really hard to keep pupils safe.

Fill in our survey and let us know what works well and what you would like to see more of.

Have you had your vaccination yet?

9 out of 10 over 70s in Sandwell have had their first vaccination dose so far! That's an incredible achievement.

We also have around 100 Community Vaccination Leaders promoting the jab in their communities.

Please accept your vaccination when it's offered and protect yourself from Covid-19

Dr Simon Mitchell - local GP urges people to get their vaccination

Could you help older or vulnerable people with shopping?

Sandwell still has a high Covid-19 infection rate and we are still seeing a worrying number of cases in people aged 65 and older.

If you have older family, friends or neighbours, please encourage them to stay at home. Why not check if they need any shopping while you pop out for your own essentials?

And please remember, if you go out for essential reasons: hands, face, space.
