Provide ready access to PPE for teachers, & for healthcare & retail workers.
Ensure that a range of PPE items such as hand sanitiser; anti-bacterial hand-wash/wipes; gloves; tissues; masks; paracetamol are readily available for teachers to use (for theirs and others' safety) both outside and in educational settings which essentially remain spaces of social interaction.
Young children plus those with SEN may require varying levels of physical/medical care. Children under social care and/or with behavioural problems may, though rarely, require varying levels of restraint if posing risk.
The Key Worker List indicates a lessening of social distancing. PPE may not be needed for normal interaction. However, wider issues include: ready access to PPE and protection for travel. Teachers are working at (and commuting to) schools which effectively remain open.
