Guidance for parents/carers when your child is ill

A parent at another school has shared with us the flowchart illustrated below which we believe parents/carers may find useful in determining whether or not to send your child/children into school.

This is not an official document and does not in any way replace the formal guidance from the Government or NHS. However, it presents a common sense process to determining whether or not your child has symptoms that warrant further investigation or the need to seek advice.

We hope that this will provide some comfort to parents/cares whose child(ren) develop symptoms of the common illnesses at this time of year. Please feel free to use this flowchart as a guide but always being mindful that having any one of the three main symptoms of COVID-19 as indicated in the red box on the graphic should always prompt you to follow national guidance.
