I’m so glad I live in Scotland and we have a devolved government who can speak with clarity and get and honest and understandable message across. Boris has caused confusion, whether some think it’s really clear or not, the number of people still with a lot of questions show he hasn’t been clear. He’s a bumbling idiot and an embarrassment.

I’m worried still about if I will have a job at the end of this as the industry I work in has been struggling anyway before this. I’m worried how I will cope on less than my full salary for the foreseeable and my partner is self employment and hasn’t earned anything since March. I’m worried my 61 year old dad and my brother have been working throughout this crisis and they are the only family I have. All of this worry hasn’t stopped but least I know the situation from the last 7 weeks hasn’t changed for now.

Apparently someone from offsted has said it’s the youngest that have been most effected, don’t know why year six
I'm guessing year 6 to get them ready and do any final bits to prepare them for Secondary school

Hey everyone, this may be an odd/inappropriate thing to post on this thread, but I genuinely don't know where else to ask.

I'm self-isolating with my boyfriend, but we're having issues and I have mental health issues (GP diagnosed) which I need emotional support for. I feel like my mental health is being adversely affected/effected (my spelling is terrible lol sorry) by my environment and rang my mum to talk. She was super concerned with me and asked if i wanted to come home for a few days - can I?

I'm asking here because I want sincere answers and because you guys don't know me I feel like you'll be comfortable just telling me straight up yes/no. If you think that would be a wrong thing to do then just tell me, though respectfully please. I'm struggling, but will understand and try my best to persevere if it would be better for me to stay. Thank you for the advice in advance - I hope everyone is staying safe and that your spirits are up.

*edit - I know no one here is from govt or anything but, let's be real, even they don't seem qualified to be giving advice rn lmao*
Just do what's right for you x... If your mum can give you what you need do it !

Sorry to hear you're going through a tough time. I don't know the official answer ...but there have been people breaking the rules because they are bored or fancied seeing mates, and you sound like you need a bit of support so if going to stay with your mum for a few days will help then I think you should.

I'm also sure I read something on social media about people being abused can go between their home and a safe place. I know it isn't the same thing but you sound like you could do with the space and help from your mum. Take care ❤

My children can social distance when i am with them. When in a class of 8/12/15/20 class mates, 1 teacher and a ta, that would 100% go out the window.
They wouldn't knowingly flout the rules but they would be engrossed in some learning and forget, they would want to show their friend something or get their friend to help them.
They haven't seen each other for coming on 8 weeks, i actually think it would be more damaging for my children to be allowed back to school but in an environment where they are restricted on socialising. Of course all kids are different but i think that would take its toll on mine and become very depressing. To be so close but yet so far.
Exactly this.

It also affects the new intake this September. My daughter (reception) is not ready to leave reception and move up to year 1. She will be terrified and so unsettled and also as much as we have worked so hard at home, she is not progressing as much as she would at school.

Nicola has reiterated that the message has not changed in Scotland and lockdown remains the same apart from you can now have unlimited outside exercise as long as you maintain social distancing.

She says he should have made it clearer his advice was for England.
I'm going to retire to Scotland I think 😂

If you are desperate and requiring the support. Do it 👍🏻 I take it you've ( mum & you ) both been isolating anyway. So I’d just do it and not tell anyone. Mental health comes first.

How you not getting PPE ? I do AGP’s every day and we’ve had no issue with PPE since day 1
God knows! It’s a joke. We have UDCs near us that we are being deployed to for a few days a month on a rota and even at one of them they have had to stop AGPs as they no longer had any gowns!

Advice has been that if you need to take some time out after an argument you can temporarily move house. I know that’s not what’s going on in your situation, but I’m sure the underlying principles should apply. Take care and sending love

If your in the vulnerable category I think your allowed support/visits it's not just OAP's that are classed as vulnerable x

I would go to your mums but maybe for longer than a few days (isolation period of 2 weeks maybe?) - If they govt say you can leave the house if youve got in to an argument and can stay with a friend then surely if your health is suffering, you can stay with someone who you feel comfortable with to look after you.

Hope you feel better soon x
