Closed Ensure schools get additional staff and facilities for in school covid testing

Closed on

The government announced that in January schools will need to facilitate rapid testing for pupils and staff. This is a positive step in reducing transmission and is likely to be welcomed by most staff. I believe for this to be effective additional staff and facilities will be needed.

Most schools will not have the staff capacity or facilities to make this idea a reality. It is vital that this testing initiative is successful hence staffing and facilities must be provided.
