    Any T1s teachers going back to/ shielding from secondary school in Tier 4?

    I think it is very relevant so worth giving them a call if you want to shield. (Wish I knew what I wanted to do!) The government shielding website thing is written from the premise that naturally you are at home if you are in Tier 4. It is like they have completely forgotten those of us who...

    Any T1s teachers going back to/ shielding from secondary school in Tier 4?

    I did when shielding was reintroduced a couple of months ago when my school wanted another one and they said they were no longer issuing letters but that they came directly now from the government. Think you are right though, I should contact again.

    Bolus for alcohol

    I’m an expert [emoji23] although not really on beer. I agree if just a pint, then a full bolus but none for dry white, red and half bolus for sweet white and Prosecco. I used to do this with alcopops, cocktails, Prosecco and beer. When I’m in Spain I drink beer but with heat I only take...

    Anyone who had a shielding letter before get another this week?

    Thanks so much for info. I’m in the same boat teaching hundreds of teenagers where it’s impossible to socially distance. I’ve not had the email so it’s very awkward as I think my school think I’m lying or something.

    Type 1 and Teacher

    Hello! I’d also love any info on this incase my school end up doing this. Please keep us updated with your individual RA too if you have any tips. NEU say that if you are Clinically Extremely Vulnerable (I think this is of you were previously shielding with letter?) that your school should...
