We can only provide care for children who are extremely vulnerable and children whose parents are critical to the Covid-19 response and as such they cannot be safely cared for at home.  The Government expectation is for almost all children to remain at home.

Covid 19 / Coronavirus

As you are aware the World Global Health Organisation has now declared that Covid-19 (Coronavirus) is now a Global Pandemic. Britain has now moved to the delay phase of the Government’s COVID-19 Action Plan. This is clearly a very challenging and unique situation and is causing much anxiety.

The importance of hygiene 
Personal hygiene is the most important way we can tackle COVID-19, especially washing hands more; and the catch it, bin it, kill it strategy for those with coughs and sneezes.
 

How to wash your hands properly
Wash your hands more often for 20 seconds with soap and hot water. Watch this short NHS film for guidance: https://youtu.be/bQCP7waTRWU

Public Health England recommends that in addition to hand washing before eating, and after coughing and sneezing, everyone should also wash hands after using toilets and travelling on public transport.
