Will teaching assistants get paid if schools close?

Not getting a clear answer on this.
Teachers will of course be paid as they will be working from home, setting work online etc.
But what about support staff, including school cooks, cleaners, teaching assistants etc.

I would think so assuming they're on contracts. But not if they're zero hours. Just guessing though.

Depends on their contract and who employs them, any alternate arrangements or contingency plans. There is no definitive answer.

Time to get those contracts out.
