04 January 2021
With the new term starting this week and the evolving picture nationally with the pandemic, schools and trusts are understandably looking for support in their decision-making on school opening. Whilst much of the framework for how you make decisions on this issue will be broadly familiar to you from other points in the pandemic over the last nine months, we have put together this short FAQ to assist you.
You can also get support by speaking to a member of the team or send your query to us at education@brownejacobson.com.
