There are three documents with interlinking advice covering all the key information providers need to know. These are:
Safe working in education, childcare and children’s social care settings, including the use of personal protective equipment (update 16 June)
Coronavirus (COVID-19): implementing protective measures in education and childcare settings (updated 1 June)
Coronavirus (COVID-19): guidance on isolation for residential educational settings (updated 27 May 2020)
What happens if there is a confirmed case of coronavirus (Covid-19) in a setting?
When a child, young person or staff member develops symptoms compatible with coronavirus (Covid-19), they should be sent home and advised to self-isolate for seven days and arrange to have a test to see if they have Covid-19. They can do this by visiting NHS.UK to arrange or contact NHS 119 via telephone if they do not have internet access. Their fellow household members should self-isolate for 14 days. All staff and students who are attending an education or childcare setting will have access to a test if they display symptoms of coronavirus (Covid-19), and are encouraged to get tested in this scenario.
