Primary schools remain closed until stringent safety measures are in place.
As part of duty of care to children, staff and parents, ensure that each school has sufficient measures in place to minimise any potential risk of infection for Covid 19.
This should be supported by a thorough risk assessment for each school.
Decision to reopen must be supported by scientific evidence
