Should I just pull her out of school now ‘

Hi
My mother’s guilt is at full blast at the moment.
DD has returned back to school she has complex health but goes to mainstream school.
She has lung, heart, bowel and other issues.
She is still on CEV list.
It was decided she would return back to school because shielding was paused. School was a bit nervous as clinical real refused to help with a risk assessment. She is in a class of 31 children 4 adults with no social distance ( small classroom still doing carpet time )
The numbers are increasing in local area but we are not on local restrictions yet. Tests are becoming harder to get and so even the whole send a bubble home it’s to late really just the time a positive is noted.
She is already of school after catching a bad cold which has gone to chest, which proves to me that really the impact on the new guidelines are not helpful.
She has a 1-1 who is paid for by council not school and is allowed to the house to do work so it’s mainly the social aspect that she would be missing with not being at school.
My head is soo torn with it all now.

I would. Her health must come first.

In your situation OP I would pull her out. Her health is too important.

I’m very much of the opinion we need to get back to normal ASAP and I feel the younger generation have been screwed over for want of better word. I see why there’s lots of frustration from younger healthy people.

However..... this is different. You’re little girl is vulnerable so yes I’d take her out of school and keep her as safe as possible.

What a worry

Sorry you're in this position. I have a medically vulnerable daughter (but not on a shielding list). She's too unwell to go to school but her brother & sister do and this fills me with worry. I would definitely pull her out.

What a hard decision. As a PP said her risk will still be very low, age is the biggest risk factor above all others. But you need input from the medical professionals and school as well tohelp you make that decision.

@Someonetakemebackto91 after reading your replies I would definitely pull her out, no doubts, those few saying she’s low risk probably haven’t got a vulnerable child.

@Bupkis this is brilliant news for you, I’ve read a lot of your posts and I know how much you’ve been worrying. I hope it eases your mind a little.
