Like I say, knock yourself out.
If you’re trying to somehow spin it, that there is no detrimental impact to children or that it is being spun by government into something bigger than it’s not.
Focus your efforts elsewhere. |
So still nothing in relation to "vulnerable" children, and whatever the definition of "vulnerable" is meant to be.

None of the UK education departments are currently publishing figures on attendance, but reports suggest
that as few as 10% of vulnerable children allocated a school place during closures are actually attending
school in some parts of the UK.

"But I think there are a number of risks and I fear that children are being exposed to the potential for familial abuse within the household, being exposed to domestic abuse again in the household and we have seen a significant increase in reports of domestic abuse nationally."

How is that any different from outside of school hours? The first closure was not long before the Easter holidays.
Very little of that document referred to closure of schools, and most of what it did mention, was related to ALL children(eg no exams).
