Following the scientific evidence regarding the transmission of COVID-19 between children at school and the subsequent spread between families and the community, the government has made the decision to close schools. Parents have been asked to support their children's education by moving to home-schooling and remote learning via live or recorded lessons.
Working from home and educating children is a real challenge for parents, employers, teachers, and the children themselves. This situation can be further exacerbated for those children with disabilities, or for those in poverty or from deprived areas. This guidance is aimed at employers and parents as well as providing useful links to additional information.
