[QUOTE="London36_, post: 2300636, member: 235117"] Hello! I’d also love any info on this incase my school end up doing this. Please keep us updated with your individual RA too if you have any tips. NEU say that if you are Clinically Extremely Vulnerable (I think this is of you were previously shielding with letter?) that your school should offer you work from home from September -if you wish - as a reasonable adjustment. DFE says it’s safe for the more vulnerable in schools but joint unions disagree. [URL]https://neu.org.uk/advice/coronavirus-medically-vulnerable-and-higher-risk-groups[/URL] Diabetes UK have some info but not teacher specific: [URL]https://www.diabetes.org.uk/guide-to-diabetes/life-with-diabetes/employment?utm_source=bronto&utm_medium=email&utm_term=Find+out+more&utm_content=Find+out+more&utm_campaign=Ambitious+Changemakers/Employment+Update+-+14th+August#risk[/URL] If you go in and choose to wear visor and/or mask, it might need to be a reasonable adjustment if your school policy doesn’t allow teachers to wear masks in class. (My friend’s school does this!) You could also ask for visors to be provided if you wanted. With student bubbles in many schools, teachers have to move each period across huge sites. Hiking up stairs with class sets of books might result in hypos especially if you are doing this x16 times a day as in my case. I’m worried about touching mask/visor to eat/drink for hypos/trying to avoid them (as well as hypos themselves) so thought maybe I could ask for help here. Not sure what specific help yet though. Good luck all [/QUOTE]
