Pregnant unvaccinated teacher in 20s... high risk?

2 replies

Senorasurf · 16/05/2021 15:32

I'm currently 22 weeks pregnant and have tried being bumped up vaccine list but to no avail.

I'm increasingly nervous about the new variant and that my school are not being forthcoming regarding risk assessments/plans (I'm yet to have a RA despite requesting one in writing to the head at the start of this week after hearing nothing).

I'm not sure if I'm being silly, naive or both!

I'm a secondary science teacher and my classroom has no windows (has 3 doors but ventilation is minor and noise from the corridors/other classrooms makes it really tough for kids/me to hear properly).

The corridors are also absolutely rammed during lesson changeover so no chance to go to the loo between lessons. Also struggling to effectively social distance during labs which is essential to make sure kids are working safely and even more important for the kids because they're catching up after a year of no lab work.

The staff area is full with approx 15 staff sat at desks but this room also has no windows or ventilation.

I just feel a little lost and feels like I'm being precious/over reacting at work, particularly now masks aren't compulsory. I'm in an area with low levels currently but this will likely increase massively following people holidaying in the uk from tomorrow.

Advice please?

Keep demanding your risk assessment to be done. If it isn't done I would contact the union for advice. My school (primary) we're really good. I would also ask them ASAP about the wfh plan from 28 weeks.
Keep sending emails and keep a paper trail of conversations. They sound like they don't care much. Good luck.

I’d go on the sick with stress, surely all this worry isn’t good for you or the baby.
