So.. Is contact on or off?

[wineisgood]

After the annoucement this evening-Does that mean court ordered alternate weekend and a tea time contact is cancelled for time being? It coming under family you don't live with?

I tweeted our local police and they've said it does fall under family members you don't live with, and that contact shouldn't take place.

Contact is not one of the reasons allowed for leaving your home so it is off for the time being.

It has been added explicitly as alllowed - See footnote

Thank you

I note that they've added it to the medical need and providing care or help to a vulnerable person category. Sounds to me like they hadn't thought of this when drawing up the rules. But that isn't surprising. Everyone in government is under huge pressure at the moment.

Thank goodness for that. DD is at her dad's, and despite his inability to have stuck to his marriage vows, he was adamant that he couldn't bring her back as 'the rules said so'

After initial confusion the advice appears to have settled on you being able to move a child between the hoses of parents, but if self-isolating should not do so. The advice clarified this morning does not seem to apply to situations where the 14 day isolation period applies.
