Education update - protecting young people most at risk from Covid-19

The government has recently identified and written to a small number of Warwickshire pupils and students who are clinically extremely vulnerable to Covid-19.  These children and young people are advised to follow shielding advice and not to attend school. If their parents or carers are clinically extremely vulnerable they can continue to go to school.

People are advised to discuss their specific circumstances with their GP or other medical professional responsible for their care if they have queries about being identified as clinically extremely vulnerable.

For help to access services and support, go to www.warwickshire.gov.uk/coronavirusvulnerable or call 0800 408 1447.
