As I'm new on here, I'm not sure whether this is OK or not to share but I wanted to get the word out to parents. I am a psychotherapist and am particularly concerned about the mental health effects of lockdown on kid's mental health. I realise that this is a frightening time for all of us, but I fear that we are not balancing the risk of COVID infection of kids (pretty low) versus the effects on their mental health, and life chances, of lockdown and not going to school (potentially pretty bad). There is a pressure group called Usforthem that has been started by 3 parents to press the government to speed up school returns. If you have similar concerns, I would recommend looking at it. It also has a petition you can sign.
