[QUOTE="JRT, post: 2362039, member: 520947"] Hiya,at least you have the vaccination next week although I think it takes three weeks to get antibodies. Hopefully Unison will help. The process I went through was that employers should do an individual risk assessment to see how they can reduce the risk of your job. This might be PPE etc,it could be an alternative role you can do. Obviously work from home if possible. That's where Max68 and I had problems. My employers were exceptionally unhelpful. As diabetics who cant work from home it's a bit like being caught between a rock and a hard place. My new employers are Covid safe and then some! For my first week I had to go into office. My weakest point was my taxi journey there and back,but fingers crossed I got away with it. The new variants are a game changer and in my area infections are dropping but still stubbornly high. Certainly compared to last year I'm hearing of people with covid plus a few who who sadly have died. Sorry if I've rambled a bit! It all depends on so many factors. The rate of infections in your area? I may be wrong but I'm under the impression you escort children. Are they themselves vulnerable? If so their bubbles may mean less contacts etc. How covid safe was the transport? Hopefully Unison and your workplace will have some solutions. [/QUOTE]
