Do key workers have to keep sending kids to school?

[TheMostHappy]

I have just been advised (by work) that apparently count as a key worker. I am very grateful that the provision of school is available to Ds, however both my DH and I will be working at home in order to practice more stringent social distancing due to a couple of quite significant health vulnerabilities that I have. We were therefore planning on managing childcare between us. It will be difficult but manageable imho, but I am nervous that there will be an expectation to send Ds to school, which I feel poses more risk than keeping him with us. Any advice or people in the same boat?

The advice 're key worker's is to keep the child at home unless as a key worker there is no other option. The other parent should be home looking after the child if not a key worker. If you don't need it, you don't have to use it.
