Most Sheffield schools have been open throughout the Covid-19 pandemic for vulnerable children and the children of key workers.
We are not preparing for reopening but for increasing the number of children who are in school.
Our first priority is to make sure that children and staff are as safe as possible at all times, and we will work with schools and settings to support them to make the best decisions for them.
Our social workers have found their daily job dramatically changed during the pandemic, as they've had to get creative about how they can support their young people during this time.
From Whatsapp chats and doorstep visits to delivering pizzas as a treat, Cath and Charlotte, who both work with young people at risk of exploitation in Sheffield, tell us how they're carrying on in lockdown.
Councillor Julie Dore, Leader of Sheffield City Council, and Greg Fell, Director of Public Health give thanks and praise to the people of Sheffield for their response to the Covid-19 pandemic.
 Greg Fell, Director of Public Health in Sheffield, outlines mental well-being techniques and support services to help you through the Coronavirus epidemic in this video as we support the UK's Mental Health Week.
