Coronavirus and schools — what is the truth, and what should parents do?
Schools are now closed — here is what you need to know, writes GAWAIN LITTLE, executive member of the National Education Union

THERE has been a lot of confusion about the situation in schools since Wednesday, when a decision was made to close schools to prevent the spread of Covid-19. This has been exacerbated by poor and inadequate advice from government both before and after the long-overdue decision for closure was actually taken.
From Monday schools will be closed but staff will continue to provide emergency childcare to enable key workers to fight the virus and keep the most vulnerable children safe.
As a union, we are incredibly proud of our teacher and support staff members who are providing this support to keep the country going in the most difficult of times.
