DfE COVID-19 Update on Omicron Variant: Out-of-school Settings

November 30, 2021 By nikitajoshi Leave a Comment

The guidance has now been updated and can be accessed here: Protective measures for holiday or after-school clubs and other out-of-school settings for children during the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak – GOV.UK (www.gov.uk).

The parental guidance has also been updated: Guidance for parents and carers of children attending out-of-school settings during the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak – GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)

Changes to the guidance since its 27 September 2021 publication include: 

• Updated advice on isolation to reflect the change in measures for close contacts of suspected or confirmed Omicron cases 

• Updated advice on face coverings to reflect the change in measures – they are now recommended in communal areas in all wraparound childcare and out-ofschool settings for adults and children who were aged 11 and over on 31 August 2021 

• Replacement of references to Public Health England with references to the United Kingdom Health Security Agency (UKHSA) 

• Updated information in the Other considerations section on vaccination of under 18 year olds 

• An updated Educational visits section to advise consideration of any international educational visit

We would like to reiterate that enabling settings to remain fully open for all children is our priority. 

Asymptomatic testing is important in reducing the risk of transmission of infection. It remains voluntary but is strongly encouraged. Staff and secondary aged children should continue to test twice weekly at home, with lateral flow device (LFD) test kits, 3 to 4 days apart. We also recommend all staff and eligible children and young people take up the offer of a vaccine.

Regards,

Candice Mcleod

What Supplementary Schools tell about us

It has been excellent experience for us. We found it very useful to meet other schools and learnt how they set up.
The Gold Quality Framework file has been providing a positive image for our organisation. We would like to thank all of you for your hard work; especially Sudip, he is a great Mentor.
