I would like to know what is meant by “safe”, which can only ever be a relative term because nothing is 100% safe and the world is full of risks. Safer than what, or as safe as last year, or probability of contracting Covid-19 less than 1 in a million or ? How and who would measure it anyway?
Unions have a raft of H&SW staff and schools are risk assessment crazy so where is the hard(ish) evidence to demonstrate that schools are not going to be safe enough should they return in a controlled manner from June. Too much speculative angst from unions, journalists and opposition politicians for my liking and not enough proper debate about what to do next and thereafter.
