Parental Support
Parents have a key role in making schools safe and should continue to:
- Promote compliance with COVID-19 guidance including in schools and on both public transport and dedicated school transport including explaining the importance of doing so to their child.
- Ensure compliance with PHA guidance of child isolating due to:
-
- The child having COVID-19 symptoms, in which case parents should book a PCR test and support the child to isolate with close contacts of the child following PHA protocols for self-isolation.
- The child being identified as a close contact, either as a household member of a symptomatic or confirmed case, or as a close contact of a case not in their household.
- The child having returned to Northern Ireland from another country and isolating in line with NI Direct Travel advice and regulations.
