DfE resources on rapid testing

[ThomasSankara]

Hello there,

I've been told that schools should have been sent some resources by the DfE/NHS to do with the introduction of rapid testing after the Christmas holiday, such as a privacy notice that can be posted online.

Would anyone possibly be able to provide me with copies of anything that was sent? It would be greatly appreciated!

Many thanks :)

A powerpoint was sent out to schools yesterday.

Thank you - I think I've seen the powerpoint, is it the NHS one? It mentions templates they'll be providing for schools like consent forms and privacy notices, do you know if they have been distributed to schools yet?

It says operational guidance will be published soon. You know, during the holiday.

Yes, yesterday

Thanks for letting me know - is there anyway you'd be able to send me over copies of the templates they've provided? I'd like to see if they're adequate for schools

They are. That is they are understandable and clear but the whole situation is preposterous so whether or not they are suitable is a matter of opinion.
