To keep DD off school?

This is more of a wwyd.

DD has just spent 6 days in hospital. Being discharged on a Sunday afternoon meant that doctors were a bit thin on the ground and we didn’t actually get to speak to one but our discharge notes arrived. I asked about keeping her off school for an extra day and the nurse said to send her back whenever I felt she was ready. However, with the new rules about school attendance, I’m not sure if I can actually keep her off for any extra days without an explicit doctors note. Will I get a fine if I do this?

My GP is more or less unreachable at this point so I’m not sure that that is an option. I would be rolling the dice on getting through the online triage system.

How old?

What does your DD want to do?

Is she fully recovered?
