Update 21/08:Protective measures for holiday and after-school clubs, and other out-of-school settings during the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak


The Government have published updated guidance (20/08) which has:

  • Amended the guidance to extend its applicability into the autumn school term, and reflect that state schools have now closed for the summer holidays
  • Set out a change to the protective measures which will be effective from the point at which all pupils return to school in the autumn, making clear the position on group sizes and how providers can minimise the risk of children mixing outside their school bubbles
  • Updated content on music and performing arts
  • Added additional content on educational visits
  • Added additional content on shared resources
