Consider SEN students as vulnerable to coronavirus. Close All SEN schools
Consider staff and vulnerable children in schools, close schools for a period of time to protect and prevent spread for the most vulnerable.
I am a staff member at a SEN school who works with autistic (high and low functioning) and profound multiple learning difficulties. A lot of the children use their mouths as a form of sensory exploration/ processing. This could cause mass spread of the virus. We are concerned for the families of both pupils and staff.
