Education Restart – Information for Parents and Carers

{module_photogallery,37056} We recognise that many parents and carers will be worried and possibly anxious about the reopening of schools. It is therefore welcome that we have agreed with the Chief Medical Officer that he would write to parents and carers which we would hope will help alleviate some of their concerns. The letter, which is attached, outlines actions which should be taken by parents and carers if their children develop Covid-19 symptoms. It is being issued alongside a leaflet for parents/carers with advice on the steps to take if a child or anyone they live with develops symptoms. The letter and leaflet have also been published on the Education Restart section of the Department’s website click link here. Letter from Chief Medical Officer to view/download click here.
