Key worker children in school

[wembollian]

The original message was definitely that the children of key workers should only go into school as a last resort, but has this message seemed to alter to anyone else recently?

I've seen key worker posters encouraged to send children in while they work from home.Yesterday a BBC article said that parents who don't send their children on 1st June wouldn't be fined, just as key workers haven't been fined if they haven't been sending their children in recently. Of course they haven't been fined - they were encouraged not to.

I am a key-worker on a rota, and would love to send my child in to school occasionally while I get work done on my days at home, but I wouldn't because of the guidance (as well as some safety concerns, but that's a different thread). Has the message changed, though?

Every school is so different
my school have being very strict in saying both parents need to be key workers to send children in. I'm a key worker and dp isn't but at one point still had to work, leaving me in an impossible position where I was going to have to go off 'sick' ( as I would get paid and dp wouldn't if he stayed of work) he ended up being furloughed so everything turned out ok. I did speak to the head again a few weeks ago when we thought his furlough would be up and I argued that I should be entitled to a place as otherwise she would be taking a key worker away from work and she reluctantly agreed but was not happy and was horrible on the phone. Luckily dp furlough was extended and is likely to be for another few weeks.
