Official School Guidance
The DfE Coronavirus (COVID-19) page holds the official government guidance for schools. The page will be regularly updated so we recommend schools check this page daily. It is already very detailed and covers a number of areas.
The DfE has also opened a coronavirus helpline which staff, parents and young people can contact via phone (0800 046 8687) or email (DfE.coronavirushelpline@education.gov.uk).
You may also wish to check the main gov.uk Coronavirus page, which includes information and guidance on all areas including travel and when to self-isolate.
The NHS page here gives information on the virus itself and sensible precautions to take.
