My childminder friend has just received this list of who counts as key workers, and been told by her insurers her insurance won’t be valid if she takes non-key worker parents

There’s no medical staff on there other than paramedics and midwives?

PlomBear · 18/03/2020 21:43

And military officers aren’t on there but NCO / other ranks are? That makes no sense.

Scootingthebreeze · 18/03/2020 21:44

Not convinced by that list. Until government issues official one (and not a vague half picture of one from an anonymous internet source) then I'm not inclined to believe it..

AllTheWhoresOfMalta · 18/03/2020 21:45

How can teachers be on there? The schools are shutting.... so what teachers will be in, teaching their own kids?!

grumpypug · 18/03/2020 21:46

The official list of key workers is being released tomorrow. There is lots of guessing going on right now so I would encourage your childminder to wait until hearing officially instead of relying on maybes from the internet.

grumpypug · 18/03/2020 21:47

Teachers will be on there to take care of the key workers children!

BobbingAlongToday · 18/03/2020 21:48

I think that's 'fake news' !!!

(I'd have thought nurses would definitely be on the list!!!)

pinkazing · 18/03/2020 21:50

Schools are open to look after key workers children and vulnerable ones

ludothedog · 18/03/2020 21:51

Some american terms on there too. I don't think that's an official list.

DeathMetalMum · 18/03/2020 21:52

Yes I think it's a hoax too no Pharmacist's either (or pharmacy staff). People will need medication still.

ludothedog · 18/03/2020 21:52

In England but not in Scotland. Not sure about Wales

WindFlower92 · 18/03/2020 21:56

Not true - we've had a list emailed from headteacher. I teach in a secondary school.

Macaroni46 · 18/03/2020 22:01

@AllTheWhoresOfMalta teachers will be doing two things. Supervising and setting remote work and teaching the children of key workers!

NoAngel1 · 18/03/2020 22:03

@WindFlower92... what was your list?

w00dlander · 18/03/2020 22:06

No social workers either- but butchers?!

WindFlower92 · 18/03/2020 22:11

@NoAngel1

I’m wondering what about Royal Mail and other delivery people, I know they said supermarket delivery

NoAngel1 · 18/03/2020 22:14

@WindFlower92 thank you :)
I work for the NHS but not frontline. Wasn’t sure how specific it would be.

mygrandchildrenrock · 18/03/2020 22:21

I'm a Headteacher, we have been told that the Cabinet Office will be sending us a list of essential workers tomorrow.

SoozC · 18/03/2020 22:22

This was shared on a Facebook group I'm on. It's from a Staffordshire school, says this is Government advice.

Carrotcakeforbreakfast · 18/03/2020 22:24

Woohoo
No radiographers

Sadly I think this list is wrong.

BuffaloCauliflower · 18/03/2020 22:25

Why is everyone saying it doesn’t have nurses on? It does. Nursing auxiliary and assistants

Ellapaella · 18/03/2020 22:25

Radiographers are NHS workers involved in clinical work so they are on that last list.

Ellapaella · 18/03/2020 22:26

On SoocZ list

BuffaloCauliflower · 18/03/2020 22:26

Just thought it was an interestingly long list. We both thought it was likely to change
