  Dear children, young people, parents/carers and families,

   

  We appreciate the considerable anxiety faced by the whole community at this moment.  My team is working closely with Head Teachers to ensure they are provided with up-to-date guidance and support.

   

  It is important that we all follow the guidance set out by the Government and DfE which no doubt will change over the coming days and weeks.

   

  I thought it would be helpful if I provided the following reassurances, based upon the current position as of 16^th March 2020.

   

  • All schools currently remain open. They will only close as a result of coronavirus case, if directed to by Public Health England.

   

  • There is no need to cancel school events or activities including domestic trips, unless the risk assessment undertaken by the school concludes this is necessary.

   

  • Schools will not be communicating to their school community ‘suspected ‘or ‘confirmed’ cases of coronavirus, unless directed to by Public Health England.

   

  • Schools are ensuring that children, young people, staff and visitors are washing their hands thoroughly and regularly throughout the day.

   

  • Schools are taking steps to clean and disinfect regularly touched objects and surfaces more often than usual, using regular cleaning products.

   

  • Children should be kept at home for 7 days if they are unwell with a new, continuous cough or a high temperature, to avoid spreading infection to others. Otherwise they should attend as normal.

   

  Guidance about staying at home is available here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/covid-19-stay-at-home-guidance

   

  NHS guidance can be found here:

  https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/

   

  • Schools are spending time in lessons, as part of the curriculum, talking to children about coronavirus and supporting children who may be experiencing any anxiety.

   

  We value the support of our schools, children, young people and families during these uncertain times.  Liverpool has a strong tradition of pulling together, long may this continue.

   

  Best wishes,

   

  Steve Reddy,

  Director,

  Children and Young People’s Services.

• Parent Carer Feedback - Please complete survey

  Thu 13 Feb 2020
  Parent Carer Feedback - 1 Year on from Local Area Inspection Survey 2020

   

  As some of you may be aware, Liverpool City Council, Liverpool Clinical Commissioning Group and the Local Area were inspected in January 2019 for the quality of services and support for children and young people aged 0-25 with Special Educational Needs and/or Disabilities (SEND) in Liverpool since the Children's and Families Act 2014 became law.

  As a result of the inspection, Liverpool was asked to make improvements to services and support for children, young people and their families.

  LivPaC would like to know from you, the parents and carers, how things have changed or not for your children and young people with SEND between January 2019 and February 2020

  The results will be presented to Liverpool City Council and Clinical Commissioning Group, where we will be asking for a response to our findings.

  Thank you for taking the time to do this survey and to inform us of what is or has changed and what hasn't and what needs to improve.
