Worcestershire’s schools and education settings will be trying to operate on the following principles:

 When it is safe for them to do so the best place for every child in Worcestershire is to be at home. This will help to prevent the spread of coronavirus.

 We will provide a safe place for the children of those workers critical to the response to coronavirus if their children cannot safely stay at home.

 Provision is limited and will only be sustainable in the coming weeks and months if people use this as an option of last resort

 Where only one parent/carer is a ‘critical worker’, please consider keeping your child/children at home with the other parent/carer

 Critical workers may need to provide evidence with ID or similar

 Provision may be at a different site to your child’s usual school
