[QUOTE="Jbicheno, post: 2321250, member: 278204"] It is strange isn’t it how reluctant GPS are to acknowledge this illogical situation? I did have one who wrote to my school requesting that I should be allowed to wear a mask. However, during the time it took for the LA to decline my request we did have a staff member contract Covid19. When I telephoned her for advice she basically told me I was overreacting and that I had nothing to fear. I was advised to go to work with no protection! I never slept that night, awoke with a migraine so my husband called me in sick. I totally agree re counselling. I am not usually an anxious person but the lack of being able to protect myself is causing my anxiety. I’m fine when I don’t have to go in. I do want to work. I have explained this to GPs and now occupational health but I might as well be talking to my cat. I have been doing my job for 18 years and on the whole have thoroughly enjoyed helping children to achieve their potential and would like to carry on doing this. I am however, seriously considering my options, one of which is resigning which seems ridiculous considering I’m only asking to wear a face mask! [/QUOTE]
