I am a key worker but cannot send my child to school for emergency childcare as they have a relatively rare yet severe underlying respiratory condition. I know there are few reports of children being affected but so far there has been no news about how adults or children with this condition are affected, so it is impossible to know if even children may have severe complications. I do worry about leaving the house and bringing something nasty home to my child.
BUT
I truly want to go to work as I want to do my part and my team are, like so many others, really feeling the pressures of an increased workload at this time. There has been no suggestion one way or another that key workers in my position will have other provision made for childcare of at risk children (I'm not suggesting I would expect this) or that they should stay home and isolate to care for their at risk child. I have been caring for my child at home this week as I have been off work for some time due to an unrelated issue but will be fully recovered in the next week or so and am truly torn as to what I should do.
My partner is able to work from home, but cannot be available for childcare during work time due to the nature of the work (I suspect that in reality, this is the same for many people). There is no option of family support due to the distancing measures/usual options also being in at risk groups. I have got plans in place so that none of us need to leave the house apart from exercise or if I go to work. I would even consider moving out to reduce the risk to my family if necessary, and if we could find a way to manage the care of my child.
So, I'm not complaining as I know many are in similar or even tougher situations, having to juggle working from home around taking care of children, I just want to know how you are planning to manage caring for young children who cannot yet look after themselves, whilst they have to isolate from society, please 
I don't want to leave my child in front of a TV day in, day out but what can I actually do? Im actually asking
