I had a further meeting today with @GavinWilliamson at which I reiterated our key issues to be addressed before schools do reopen
These include:
-Staffing levels & the need to engage supply teachers
-PPE provision
-Social distancing & the need to significantly limit pupil numbers & class sizes
-Risk assessments
-Increased cleaning resources

I reiterated the need for further guidance on the Job Retention Scheme & pay for supply teachers employed by umbrella companies. Also, extending access to online learning hardware & connectivity to all children from low income households
We will continue to press these & other issues of concern affecting NASUWT members with the Education Secretary and the DfE.
