Job Retention Scheme - Launch Day

WITH many worried about the 'unintended consequences' of lockdown feared, including the rising mental health issues and unemployment, it is no surprise that education would be included within this list and lots of theories as to what will be done to get the UK's educational establishments back on track. As a result, in the UK Government's daily televised briefing, the Secretary of State for Education, Gavin Williamson, clearly stated that there were "no plans" to open Schools over the summer holiday, from following "unhelpful speculation" within some of the UK media outlets. He said that 5 "tests" must be met before Schools and any other education establishments could reopen.  Outlining those 5 tests Mr Williamson said:- "1st we must protect the NHS's ability to cope, and be sure that it can continue to provide critical care and specialist treatment right across the whole of the United Kingdom. The 2nd, we need to see daily death rates from Coronavirus coming down. 3rd, we need to have reliable data that shows the rate of infection is decreasing to manageable levels. The 4th, we need to be confident that testing capacity and PPE is being managed, with supply able to meet, not just today's demand, but future demand. And the 5th, perhaps the most crucially, we need to be confident that any changes we do make will not risk a 2nd peak of infections."
