Message: <blockquote data-quote="Max68" data-source="post: 2285639" data-attributes="member: 521172">The irony is there are plenty of clinically vulnerable staff (like myself) and there will also be clinically vulnerable children and yet the Government are going to fine parents who don't send their children back which is baffling.  There would be enough vulnerable staff to cover continuing online lessons for the vulnerable children or children of parents who don't want to send their children back. Those that "don't want to" it's a choice where obviously they would decide themselves about their own return to work.  This would kill two birds with one stone.  Staff continue their jobs as online workers because there is that option still available and that means they are also in a safer environment at home and parents who are concerned or whose children are vulnerable  thus don't get fined.  Even if your own school didn't have a work from home option other schools would have and would be looking for online staff.  With a bit of foresight, decent communication and planning months ago they could have organised this through councils and employers.  As an LSA I just "sit in" on zoom lessons as support making notes of behaviour etc and you could easily do that for any school.  The Government has totally changed tack though, one minute they are insisting that ALL clinically vulnerable were either to shield or to work from home.  Now it's a case of off you go back to work but nothing has changed with regard to the virus.  If they are desperate to stop a second wave at hospitals why are they telling the clinically vulnerable to go back to the physical workplace?!</blockquote>
