High risk and vulnerable parents, allowed to keep their children at home Covid19
I would like the government or Parliament to take into account that for us parents who are advised to shield, we have to make the very hard decision to send our children to school knowing that we will be at risk and that our children will be at risk.
We face the risk that if we decide for health reasons to not send our children to school we could receive a fine and if we are not working due to shielding we face the financial burden when all we are trying to do is keep ourselves and our children safe.
