What rights do we have?

We're having a federated INSET, completely via zoom. Staff have been told NOT to go into school.

I've got a similar problem. Year R in a federated primary. SLT have decided that both schools will do inset together next week. Goes against their own risk assessment. I've emailed with concerns, still waiting for a response.

Blimey how big was the room and were you all spaced apart? My SEN school have stopped all staff meetings and when we go back in September for staff training will be in small groups rather than whole school in the hall.

Have you had a copy of the risk assessment? Any Covid training? We’ve to wear masks in public areas but not in classrooms (or Staffroom unless we want to) We’ve got spray and towels and instructions as to when we’ve to clean things.

Have you been given the risk assessment? If not, you should have been so request it.

Do you mean you have to pay for your own cleaning fluids If you want to do extra cleaning of your area? That’s not ok. Cleaning should be listed in the risk assessment.

Also, check the government guidance. Have all the points been covered in the risk assessment?

What is NATFHE doing about all this?

I think your first stop would be your union rep - you won't be the only one with concerns. I guess striking is our only option - you can imagine how that would go down. Or resignation. And I suspect it may come to that for many people.
