Halt the reopening of schools until the NEU's 5 tests are met

Petition Details

In the interests of the safety of school pupils and staff, we the undersigned call upon the Government to halt plans to reopen schools and colleges on 1st June 2020 (or thereafter) until the five tests put forward by the National Education Union have been met.

Additional Information

We support schools reopening once it is safe. We call open Government to wait until it has fulfilled the NEU's 5 tests:

1: Lower numbers of Covid-19 cases (a sustained downward trend).
2: A national plan for social distancing and appropriate PPE.
3: Testing so schools/colleges don’t become hot spots.
4: A strategy for when a case occurs.
5: Protection for the vulnerable (to work from home).

The tests are set out in full here: https://neu.org.uk/neu-five-tests-government-schools-can-re-open
