The current action list for symptomatic children in Early Years, Schools and Further Education is also attached, along with an NHS flow chart that schools may wish to share with parents when deciding whether to send their children to school.
The full update on Covid-19 guidance, including how schools should continue to ensure protective measures, can be accessed via our FAQs on LEAP.
