Hello
We thought you might be interested in an event the Independent SAGE is running tomorrow (Friday 22 May) at 12pm - this will be a live public consultation, discussing whether schools should start to reopen on 1 June.
The former Government Chief Scientific Adviser Sir David King is Chair of the Independent SAGE, whose aim they say is to: “provide robust, independent advice to HM Government with the purpose of helping the UK navigate COVID-19 whilst minimising fatalities”. You can find out more about what they do here and who the committee members are here.
This discussion will be hosted by Dr Michael Mosley and the panel of experts will take questions from a broad range of parties, including teachers, union reps, governors, and the general public.
If you’d like to share your questions, you can do so by emailing [email protected] or by sending them to @independentSAGE on Twitter.
If you’d like to put your question to the experts in person via Zoom, then please get in touch with them via the email or Twitter account above.
You can also watch the event live on YouTube, Facebook and Twitter.
Comments on YouTube will also be sent to the scientists on the panel.
Tomorrow’s event will feed into the committee’s full report which will be presented to the government.
Hope this sounds like an interesting opportunity and thanks for reading!
