Message: <blockquote data-quote="Picci" data-source="post: 2284906" data-attributes="member: 12512">Dear Max, I am currently at loggerheads with my head teacher due to him refusing to give me (and all staff) the choice to wear a face shield/mask. I knew he had had a number of run ins with teachers who have asked, but I believed in my case, (type 1 and been shielding since March,) he would allow me. I’m in the NEU and there is a new set of criteria for opening up.....I could send you all the information. I have been in touch with my consultant and I’m awaiting a phone call to discuss this, and I hope he puts it in writing that he suggests I am allowed to wear PPE. I’m a teaching assistant, but my head continues to refer back to the ‘government guidelines’ which stated educational staff do not need PPE even if we are within 2m of distance. I know, and I have been flabbergasted at how he is dealing with this, I sent him supporting evidence from SAGE, WHO and the British Medical Association, but he continues to dig his heels in. My school Union Rep is fighting for me, and a number of others who have vulnerable family members and other comorbidities ( high blood pressure/ over weight/ age). I’ll keep you posted.Christine</blockquote>
