[QUOTE="richard.ross1818, post: 2235542, member: 356231"] Hi Max! My reading of it is that it doesn't matter if you are a reasonably healthy diabetic and have it fairly under control. I think the message is "if you have it, you have it, therefore you are more at risk, so you shouldn't be in school". My Head has been supportive, as I said, and there's actually now 5-6 of us not in school, due to asthma and other conditions, as well as my diabetes. I know what you mean about the other staff who do have young children to look after, but might be expected to come in to look after the vulnerable children and children of key workers. My Head emailed us all last night to say that the other schools in the academy chain that we're a part of are looking to pool staff, resources and physical space and provide one central hub for the kids who need to attend school. Makes sense. I'm gutted I can't actually be part of the staff rota that will support that, as I think the key workers need all the support we can give them, but I just feel I can't go against what my doctor has said, and I do have to look after my own health. I understand your concerns about losing the job though. I'm feeling anxious cos my contract is only up to the end of August...! Let us know how you get on - hope you get to be at home! [/QUOTE]
