Sheilding - will it be unpaused?

Oh, thank you, that's good to hear that some schools are being accommodating (ie not criminally negligent!)

We have not deregistered children for being at home at this time. I am school governor. They are getting work sent to them.

FannyCornforth That’s dreadful: our sixth Form College is supporting vulnerable students to study at home. Friends work in a state school in Greater Manchester and it is doing the same, they have 26 shielders studying online.
I don’t think deregistering is national policy?

Sorry Ellan, I'm not sure what you mean?

Shielders we know have never stopped.

Teetime, shielding teachers and pupils have been told that they must return to school.
If you are the parent of a shielding child and want to keep them at home you must deregister them.

There aren't the resources to " police " everyone, it's madness !
Didn't someone catch the virus who'd never been out ?

I would have thought if a person is very clinically vulnerable they should keep on shielding no matter what the government says. I have always advised such patients to restrict anyone coming to their house with colds or infections and to avoid crowded places. When my Neutrophils hit their lowest point my consultant rang me up and said 'dont go out and dont let anyone come round'. I lived in a small village in the Yorkshire Dales then.

See, I'm not sure.
It seems to me that they've just given up now. It's just follow your own guidelines.
Everyone has completely lost all confidence in them anyway, so half the country don't even listen.
If cev teachers shield again they will have to magic up a load of replacements from somewhere.

I thought Johnson might have said something, too FC. Indeed I read an article in the Guardian on the same day, by a young disabled woman, who felt very abandoned by Govt, regarding advice and support to those who have been shielding.

I was shielding from February until the end of August. We live in east London and the number of Covid cases appear to be spiking here, too. My partner and I didn’t really stop shielding... we had one lunch out and one garden visit. Now we just don’t feel safe enough to trust the advice from the bunch of buffoons in Govt.

I wouldn't be surprised, the way things are going and reading between the lines of the info I'm receiving from my doctors.
I'm already preparing for it. ?
If it doesn't happen, it will be a bonus.

Apologies if I've put this in the wrong place!
