My DP has recently been diagnosed with lymphoma, chemo starts next week. As if a pandemic wasn't enough to deal with! Anyway, as you can imagine, the repercussions have been felt far and wide, with one of the main issues being that my Yr6 son is unable to return to school this week. The head said he is not allowed to, which is what I expected, and it is clearly in the rules that a child living with someone shielding cannot return to school.
But my DS is so desperate to get back - all his friends are back, albeit in their bubbles and it's his last year of primary school. I wondered if anyone thought by July, this might change at all and he might be able to go back for the last week or so. We are willing to totally shield from my DP in our house as we have three floors and he can live on the top floor with en-suite, while we live downstairs etc. Is this an absolutely pie-in-the-sky idea? Just wondered if it's worth even thinking about this? or is it just silly?
Thanks!
