As in a criteria or similar?
The new advice (paraphrased) says:
Clinically vulnerable carry on as usual, lots of handwashing, take care to follow the rules.There will be detailed advice for Extremely Clinically Vulnerable tomorrow and they will receive a letter from the government.
Last time around we had a number of staff (school) who did not have official shielding letters but did have written advice from their doctor that they should shield. Because of the way we were working at that time and the fact that the majority of staff were happy to be in to work with our vulnerable kids, we didn't ask any questions and allowed anyone who felt they needed it to wfh.
This time, if we are to stay open, we will need to assess need more critically.
Is it a fair assumption that everyone who got a doctor's letter last time will get a similar one this time?
If we follow that advice, we're (very) unlikely to be fully open, but I don't see how we can do otherwise. TBH it will be a push once we take out the ones with official shielding letters, assuming the criteria is the same this time.
