Vulnerable child

[Lofari]

Ok. My youngest is 5
Has Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Classed as extremely vulnerable. He attends a primary school (along with his older sister) which has less than 30 kids total.
Anyway. Over xmas a classmate of my daughter and his family have been up and down the country visiting family and stayed in a hotel for days. today they arrived back and had family at theirs. We are tier 3.
I now do not want my children to go back to school. If my son caught covid......I darent even think about it

My husband thinks I am over reacting.
I am furious.
Aibu?

Did your child attend school when you were in tier 2?

If so, he's at no more risk now than he was then.

I don't think YABU and would keep the kids off for 2 weeks after the other kids go back but we are up in Scotland where schools will be closed and I'm doing everything I can not to have to send my daughter to the hub school (DH and I are both key workers)

I totally understand your concern OP, especially with the new variant. I’m an ECV teacher who teaches medically vulnerable children in a special school. I’m worried for them and me, could you talk to your child’s school about this and maybe keep your children off school for at least the first couple of weeks of term to see how things go?

@WorraLiberty how do you work that out? There is a much higher risk as there are just so many more Covid cases than even a few weeks ago so the same actions are now higher risk for OPs child.
I don't blame you OP - I hate that we're at the mercy of the other parents and how careful they have chosen to be over Xmas when they go back to school in jan. It would have been much more sensible to allow the two weeks after Xmas to at least flush out the worst of the increase in cases from Xmas gatherings

Are you in tier 4, in tier 4 if they are still on the Clinically extremely list then they auto shouldn’t attached school. If not in tier 4 your consultants can write a letter to say they shouldn’t attend school.
My daughters consultant haven’t let her back to school since the start of the pandemic.

Yab "a little" u for being furious with another families decision to celebrate Christmas the way that was right for them. But your not being unreasonable for wanting to keep your children off school when one is so clinically vulnerable and the government has left half the country free to carry on almost as normal and spread the new variant far and wide. If it was my child, I would be keeping them off until the r number has come right down.

Yabu. Their decision what they do. Keep your child off school.
