Guidance re: child with asthma and schools

If a child has asthma, am I right in thinking a school is unlikely to accept them into school even though their parent is a key worker?

I was sent to work from home last week and my manager phoned me today and essentially told me I can't work from home and have a child there at the same time. She said I needed to get him into school, but when I mentioned that he had asthma, all she said was that she would pass the information on 🤷‍♀️

We turned away a child of a key worker today because they had not gotten approval from the head teacher and because they have asthma.

Thanks for your reply! I will see what work say tomorrow 😩

You can't send your child to work if you're working from home. Your employer is wrong.

If you're at home, your child should be at home.

@Photosymphysis that's what I thought.
It may be because my work deals with potentially sensitive information (I work with vulnerable families but only a level 2 on safeguarding) but even so, I don't call anyone when my son is next to me and take necessary precautions to ensure confidentiality 🤷‍♀️
