Standing down the Education Corona Response Team (ECRT)
As you will all be aware since late 2020, an Education Corona Response Team (ECRT) has been available to support education leaders with COVID related issues or queries. However, since the government announcement on 21 February 2022, ended all Covid-19 legal restrictions in England, ‘living with Covid’ is now the norm.
As a result, the decision has been taken to stand down the team with effect from Friday 15th July. We would like to take this opportunity to thank the team for the help and support they have provided to schools and settings over the last 18 months.
From Monday 18th July the Education Corona mailbox - education-corona@warwickshire.gov.uk and Education helpline - 01926 412011 will no longer be available. After this date should you require any require advice or support with COVID related issues you can contact the Public Health team via email at: - dphadmin@warwickshire.gov.uk If you require support outside of normal office hours, please contact UKHSA on 0344 225 3560 (select option 0 then option 2).
We will continue to provide more general information and updates via the Education during COVID-19 webpages - https://schools.warwickshire.gov.uk/coronavirus
Alternatively, the Department for Education Incident Support helpline is available to answer any questions you have about COVID-19 or the current situation in Ukraine, as they relate to education and childcare settings and children’s social care, or other national emergency issues.
