Covid 19 Secure Strategic
Risk Register
January 2022 (V34: Updated 27/01/21)
United by our values, we place children and
young people first in everything we do
1Introduction to CLT Covid 19 Secure risk management from January 2022
This V34 risk register replaces all prior versions and should be read in conjunction with, and aligned to the Government updated operational
guidance for schools (from 27th January 2022), and all subsequent Government updates related to Covid 19 ‘ending Plan B’ risk management
in education settings, local action levels and education tiers guidance:
Please note that, as COVID-19 is a rapidly evolving situation, guidance may change with little notice. Updated versions of the
strategy will therefore be numbered and dated.

Risk is the threat that something, an event or action, will adversely affect the Trust’s ability to meet compliance objectives. Risk management
is the process by which such risks are identified, their severity assessed and cost effective actions are taken to address, or mitigate against
them, to bring them down to acceptable levels.
2Covid 19 Secure Risk management is consistent with:
creating a culture of risk awareness throughout the organisation
adopting an active, pro-active focused and proportionate approach, to ensure that the putting in place and maintaining of controls and
contingency plans are appropriate and highly effectively in swiftly addressing risks to health, the likelihood of a risk happening and the
potential impact if it does
increasing, rather than reducing, innovation in response
compliance with public health and government guidance, laws and regulations
Process:
There are four fundamental stages to the risk management process:
1. Identifying risks: having a process for identifying the risks that face the Trust
2. Assessing risks: assessing the probability and impact of those risks enabling management action to be prioritised
3. Addressing risks: putting in control measures to reduce risk.
4. Monitoring risks: pro-actively managing the risks and ensuring risks are regularly reviewed and mitigation is updated as needed.
Risk management is an inclusive process as it is the staff who best understand the risks the organisation faces and they will be key to the
management of those risks. Feedback from the staff through the Central Team and Academy sites structure will help with the risk identification
and mitigation. The responsibility for assessing, addressing and monitoring the risks will lie with the Executive (ELG), Senior Leadership Team
(SLG) and the HR Director. The Risk Register will be reviewed in detail through Audit & Risk procedures.
Levels of risk:
A current rating is given on the Red/Amber/Green (RAG) rating system based on the level of overall risk. Level of risk is identified by the
potential impact and the likelihood of occurrence. Both are allocated a 5-point scale where 5 is the highest risk and 1 the lowest risk. The two
factors are then multiplied together to give an overall rating. Where the level of risk has changed since the register was last reviewed, the
previous number is indicated in brackets.
The RAG rating is assigned as follows:

3City Learning Trust Response
In response to national updates, this updated risk strategy is designed to meet all updated guidance to schools, in line with the Government Road
Map, whilst also ensuring ongoing consideration of what additional mitigation may need to be drawn upon, in the event of increased community
cases and/or implementation of local/national enhanced support measures. It is advisable to ensure that our academies can ‘step up/’step down’
risk mitigation swiftly and effectively as may be needed, and this updated risk strategy enables this dynamic response mechanism through each
section being divided into two parts.
PART 1: SECTIONS A&B: Current Risk strategy in line with Government Road Map operational guidance.
PART 2: SECTION C: Enhanced support/Additional measures. (Contingency: To be implemented should national/local context require such
additional measures).
Government Updated Operational Guidance for Schools (January 2022)
“The government continues to manage the risk of serious illness from the spread of the virus. The Prime Minister announced on 19 January that
the temporary introduction of Plan B is to end. As a result, the Plan B measures in this guidance for schools are being removed. This advice
remains subject to change as the situation develops.
COVID-19 continues to be a virus that we learn to live with and the imperative to reduce the disruption to children and young people’s education
remains.
Our priority is for you to deliver face-to-face, high-quality education to all pupils. The evidence is clear that being out of education causes
significant harm to educational attainment, life chances, mental and physical health.
We have worked closely with the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) and the United Kingdom Health Security Agency (UKHSA) to
revise this guidance.” Department for Education: School Covid 19 Operational Guidance: January 2022
https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/covid-19-response-summer-2021-roadmap/moving-to-step-4-of-the-roadmap
Research and analysis. Evidence summary: COVID-19 - children, young people and education settings (July 21)
“The system of controls in education will have contributed to reducing the risk of infection within settings and testing has also helped to break
chains of transmission. That is why, whilst some measures are eased, others will remain; these will maintain a baseline of protective measures
while maximising attendance and minimising disruption to education. If necessary, in response to localised outbreaks, education settings will need
to be prepared to reintroduce other protective measures, subject to local or national public health advice.”

MITIGATION STRATEGIES: Government/PHE protective factors guidance will be followed in full and as cited in other areas of this strategy.
EFFECTIVE INFECTION CONTROL MEASURES
Updated Guidance Control measures
1. Ensure good hygiene for everyone.
2. Maintain appropriate cleaning regimes.
3. Keep occupied spaces well ventilated.
4. Follow public health advice on testing, self-isolation and managing confirmed cases of COVID-19.
1. ENSURING GOOD HYGIENE FOR EVERYONE.
Handwashing:
Regular hand washing protocol in place for all staff/students and visitors to site. Academy leaders will ensure that all adults and children: frequently wash their hands
with soap and water for 20 seconds and dry thoroughly, clean their hands on arrival at the setting, before and after eating and after sneezing or coughing.
Use of hand-sanitiser actively promoted, supported by hand sanitiser units across the site in communal areas and hand sanitiser stocks being maintained in all
classrooms/office spaces.
Stocks/supplies will be checked daily and replenished as needed.
Respiratory Hygiene
Promotion of the ‘Catch it, bin it, kill it’ strategy. Academy leaders will ensure that all adults and children are encouraged not to touch their mouth, eyes and nose, use a tissue
or elbow to cough or sneeze into and use bins for tissue waste (‘catch it, bin it, kill it’)
FACE COVERINGS
In the updated guidance (January 2022) Face coverings are no longer recommended/advised by law in education settings, as below:
• From 20 January, face coverings are no longer advised for pupils (secondaries), staff and visitors in classrooms.
• From 27 January, face coverings are no longer advised for pupils (secondaries), staff and visitors in communal areas.
7 Under contingency planning/government stepping up and down measures, use of face coverings could be recommended as may be deemed necessary in response to
local/national needs.
It remains an option for staff, visitors (and students in secondary academies) to wear a suitable face covering, if they prefer to continue to do so, particularly in e.g.
communal areas, transport.
2. MAINTAINING APPROPRIATE CLEANING REGIMES
All sites are supported by an external cleaning service provider – with Covid 19 cleaning systems, protocols and procedures ensured. The Deputy Finance Officer oversees
all aspects of the cleaning contract, supported by the ED - Estates/HR Director, SBMs and site teams.
Cleaning protocols ensure regular cleaning of areas and equipment, with particular focus on frequently touched surfaces.
The Provider will provide additional guidance to all Academy leaders and staff regarding cleaning protocols, as required.
Academy leaders will ensure ongoing de-cluttering of spaces to support cleaning and hygiene.
For secondary academies, additional cleaning and clinical waste collection linked to Lateral Flow Testing programme areas is in place. (See LFDT Risk Strategy)
In the case of any person being unwell on the site, where there is a suspected/actual case of Covid 19, Academy leaders will
1. Seek advice as required from the DfE Public Health Advisors and local Public Health England (PHE) Health Protection Team (HPT)
2. Ensure implementation of all steps in guidance. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/covid-19-decontamination-in-non-healthcare-settings •
3. KEEPING OCCUPIED SPACES WELL VENTILATED
Mechanical ventilation systems
Should be adjusted to increase the ventilation rate wherever possible, and checked to confirm that normal operation meets current guidance.
If possible, systems should be adjusted to full fresh air or, if not, then systems should be operated as normal as long as they are within a single room and supplemented
by an outdoor air supply.
Where mechanical ventilation systems exist, they will be maintained in accordance with the manufacturers recommendations.
Natural ventilation.
Doors are propped open, where safe to do so (bearing in mind fire safety and safeguarding), and windows are open, to limit use of door handles and aid ventilation.
If necessary external opening doors may also be used (as long as they are not fire doors and where safe to do so)
Natural ventilation strategies will be balanced with ensuring appropriate and comfortable temperatures.
CO2 Monitors
In line with Government recommendations, our academies use CO2 monitors to support monitoring of ventilation and levels of CO2..
4. FOLLOWING PUBLIC HEATH ADVICE ON TESTING, SELF-ISOLATION AND MANAGING CONFIRMED CASES OF COVID-19
SYMPTOMATIC CASES, PCR Testing and CLOSE CONTACTS (NATIONAL GUIDANCE AND LOCAL RECOMMENDATIONS)
NATIONAL GUIDANCE UPDATED JANUARY 2022: Leaders will ensure that all staff, everyone on site or visiting site is aware of the following national guidance:
When an individual develops COVID-19 symptoms or has a positive test
Academy leaders will ensure that students, staff and other adults are advised in line with Public Health guidance on self-isolation.
https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/self-isolation-and-treatment/when-to-self-isolate-and-what-to-do/
When to self-isolate
Self-isolate straight away and get a PCR test as soon as possible if you have any of these 3 symptoms of COVID-19, even if they are mild:
8• a high temperature
• a new, continuous cough
• a loss or change to your sense of smell or taste
You should also self-isolate straight away if:
• you've tested positive for COVID-19 – this means you have the virus
• someone you live with has symptoms or tested positive (unless you are not required to self-isolate – check below for details)
• you've been told by NHS Test and Trace to self-isolate following contact with someone who tested positive.
When you do not need to self-isolate
If you live with or have been in contact with someone with COVID-19, you will not need to self-isolate if any of the following apply:
• you're fully vaccinated – this means 14 days have passed since your final dose of an approved COVID-19 vaccine
• you're under 18 years and 6 months old
• you're taking part or have taken part in an approved COVID-19 vaccine trial
• you're not able to get vaccinated for medical reasons
Even if you do not have symptoms, you're strongly advised to:
• do daily rapid lateral flow tests (1 a day for 7 days), if you’re fully vaccinated, to protect yourself and others from COVID-19.
• follow advice on how to avoid catching and spreading COVID-19
• consider limiting contact with people who are at higher risk from COVID-19
LATERAL FLOW DEVICE DAILY TESTING/PCR TEST RECOMMENDATIONS FOR IDENTIFIED CLOSE CONTACTS WHO DO NOT NEED TO SELF-ISOLATE:
All adults who are fully vaccinated and children aged 5 to 18 years and 6 months, identified as a contact of someone with COVID-19 – whether Omicron or not – should
take a lateral flow device (LFD) test every day for 7 days instead of self-isolating.
Children under 5 years who are identified as close contacts are exempt from self-isolation and do not need to take part in daily testing of close contacts. They are
advised to take a PCR test if the positive case is in their household.
Once notified by NHS Test and Trace as a close contact, all eligible staff, pupils and students should take an LFD each day for 7 days and report the results through the
Online Reporting System: https://www.gov.uk/report-covid19-
result?utm_source=13%20December%202021%20C19&utm_medium=Daily%20Email%20C19&utm_campaign=DfE%20C19 and to their setting.
If the LFD test is negative, they can continue to attend their education setting.
If the LFD test is positive, they should self-isolate and arrange a PCR test (up to 11th January 2022) to confirm the result. See below for additional guidance from 11th
January 2022:
If the PCR is positive, they must self-isolate in line with national guidance.
If the PCR test is negative, they no longer need to self-isolate but should continue to carry out the remainder of the daily tests, and only need to isolate if it is positive.
CHANGES TO PCR TESTING: FROM 11th JANUARY 2022
Anyone who receives a positive LFD test result should report their result via: https://www.gov.uk/report-covid19-result and must self-isolate immediately but will not
need to take a follow-up PCR test.
After reporting a positive LFD test result, they will be contacted by NHS Test and Trace so that their contacts can be traced and must continue to self-isolate.
9There are a few exceptions to this revised approach.
1. People who are eligible for the £500 Test and Trace Support Payment (TTSP) will still be asked to take a confirmatory PCR if they receive a positive LFD result, to enable
them to access financial support.
2. People participating in research or surveillance programmes may still be asked to take a follow-up PCR test, according to the research or surveillance protocol.
3. People who are at particular risk of becoming seriously ill from COVID-19 who have been identified by the NHS as being potentially eligible for new treatments. They will
be receiving a PCR test kit at home by mid-January to use if they develop symptoms or if they get a positive LFD result, as they may be eligible for new treatments if they
receive a positive PCR result. This group should use these priority PCR tests when they have symptoms as it will enable prioritised laboratory handling.
Please ensure staff/parents and carers are advised to go to the link below to check information as needed.
https://www.gov.uk/government/news/confirmatory-pcr-tests-to-be-temporarily-suspended-for-positive-lateral-flow-test-results
ACCESSING LATERAL FLOW DEVICE TESTS
All staff (Primary and secondary) and secondary aged pupils and students should have access to a box of 7 LFD tests from their education setting.
For students with SEND who struggle to or are unable to self-swab daily for 7 days, settings should work with students and their families to agree an appropriate testing
route, such as assisted swabbing.
As well as implementing 7 day daily testing for identified close contact situations, it is important to continue regular twice weekly, at-home testing for all education and
childcare workforce and all students of secondary age and above.
For primary aged children, identified as close contacts, parents/carers should be advised that LFD test kits are available through the usual routes (community test sites,
local pharmacies or online).
Children under five years old do not need to take part in daily testing for contacts of COVID-19 and do not need to isolate.
If you get any symptoms of COVID-19, you should self-isolate and get a test as soon as possible.
How long to self-isolate
If you test positive, your self-isolation period includes the day your symptoms started (or the day you had the test, if you did not have symptoms) and up to the next 10 full
days.
You may need to self-isolate for longer if you get symptoms while self-isolating or your symptoms do not go away.
You may also be able to leave self-isolation after 5 days if certain conditions are met. You can stop self-isolating after 5 days if you do a rapid lateral flow test on days 5 and
6 of your self-isolation period and:
• both tests are negative
• you did both tests at least 24 hours apart
• you do not have a high temperature
• If you do a rapid lateral flow test on day 5 and test positive, wait 24 hours before you do the next test.
The first test must be taken no earlier than day 5 of the self-isolation period, and the second must be taken the following day. All test results should be reported to NHS
Test and Trace.
10If the result of either of their tests is positive, you should continue to self-isolate until you get negative results from two LFD tests on consecutive days or until you have
completed 10 full days of self-isolation, whichever is earliest.
If you stop self-isolating on or after day 6, it's important that you take steps to reduce the chance of passing COVID-19 to others. This means you should:
• work from home if you can
• wear a face covering in shops, on public transport and when it's hard to stay away from other people – particularly indoors, in crowded places or where there is not
much fresh air
• limit contact with people at higher risk of serious illness from COVID-19
• follow advice on how to avoid catching and spreading COVID-19
You can stop self-isolating after the 10 days if either:
• you do not have any symptoms
• you just have a cough or changes to your sense of smell or taste – these can last for weeks after the infection has gone
When to keep self-isolating after 10 days
If you have a high temperature after the 10 days, or are feeling unwell, keep self-isolating and seek medical advice.
Quarantine:
You may need to quarantine when you arrive in England from abroad. Check the quarantine rules when entering England on GOV.UK. https://www.gov.uk/uk-border-
control/self-isolating-when-you-arrive
WHAT IF AN IDENTIFIED CLOSE CONTACT ADULT IS NOT FULLY VACCINATED?
Anyone over the age of 18 years and 6 months who is not vaccinated, must isolate in line with government guidelines if they are a close contact of a positive case.
ADDITIONAL GUIDANCE
Schools should advise staff and parents ,as needed, about the Test and Trace Support Payment scheme and direct them to the link below to check eligibility.
https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/test-and-trace-support-payment-scheme-claiming-financial-support/claiming-financial-support-under-the-test-and-trace-
support-payment-scheme
The isolation period for anyone with symptoms includes the day that the symptoms started and the next 10 days.
They can find detailed advice at: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/covid-19-stay-at-home-guidance/stay-at-home-guidance-for-households-with-possible-
coronavirus-covid-19-infection
Where anyone in the household, including the support and/or childcare bubble develops Covid 19 symptoms, or has a confirmed positive test, other members of their
household, including their support do not need to self-isolate, unless they have symptoms, have had a positive LFD test and are awaiting their PCR test, have had a
positive PCR test or are directed to do so by Test and Trace.
If anyone tests positive whilst not experiencing symptoms, but develops symptoms during the isolation period, they must seek advice from 119 regarding re-starting the
10 day isolation period from the day they developed symptoms.
11MANAGING SUSPECTED CASES ON SITE
A child is taken unwell on the site:
If a child is awaiting collection, they should be moved, if possible, to a room where they can be isolated behind a closed door, depending on the age of the child and
with appropriate adult supervision if required. If it is not possible to isolate them, move them to an area, which is at least 2 metres away from other people.
Ideally, a window should be opened for ventilation.
If they need to go to the bathroom while waiting to be collected, they should use a separate bathroom if possible. The bathroom should be cleaned and disinfected
using standard cleaning products before being used by anyone else. PPE should be worn by staff caring for the child while they await collection if a distance of 2 metres
cannot be maintained (such as for a very young child or a child with complex needs). A fluid-resistant surgical face mask should be worn by the supervising adult if a
distance of 2 metres cannot be maintained. If contact with the child or young person is necessary, then disposable gloves, a disposable apron and a fluid-resistant
surgical face mask should be worn by the supervising adult. If there is a risk of splashing to the eyes, for example from coughing, spitting, or vomiting, then eye
protection should also be worn
In an emergency, call 999 if they are seriously ill or injured or their life is at risk. Do not visit the GP, pharmacy, urgent care centre or a hospital.
The individual should not use public transport if they are symptomatic. In exceptional circumstances, if parents/carers cannot arrange to have their child collected, if age-
appropriate and safe to do so, the child should walk, cycle or scoot home.
If a member of staff has helped someone who was unwell with a new, continuous cough, high temperature, loss of sense of taste/smell, they do not need to go home
unless they develop symptoms themselves, they themselves test positive from an LFD test, or they are advised to do so via NHS Test and trace or Local PHE. They should
wash their hands thoroughly for 20 seconds after any contact with someone who is unwell.
Cleaning the affected area with normal household disinfectant after someone with symptoms has left will reduce the risk of passing the infection on to other people. See also
the COVID-19: cleaning of non-healthcare settings guidance. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/covid-19-decontamination-in-non-healthcare-settings
REPORTING CASES
NHS Test and Trace will work with the positive case and/or their parent to identify close contacts. Contacts from a school setting will only be traced by NHS Test and Trace
where the positive case and/or their parent specifically identifies the individual as being a close contact. Schools may be contacted in exceptional cases to help with identifying
close contacts, as currently happens in managing other infectious diseases.
ACADEMY/SITE LEADERS MUST:
1. Ensure arrangements are in place for Attendance Officers to monitor absences reported for positive cases and/or when individuals have been identified as a close contact
and advised to undertake 7 day LFD testing and/or attend a PCR test. This is critical in ensuring that our academies can monitor for signs of an outbreak on site.
2. The Attendance Officer will report any such absences daily to the Principal/Covid Co-ordinator, who can then liaise with the Local PHE Authority Team as required. E mail
Tracecovid19@stoke.gov.uk or phone 01782 231222.
3. Additional Support: For any CONFIRMED CASES: If you have a confirmed case of coronavirus (COVID-19) within your nursery, school or college – Principals/Senior Leaders
can also DfE’s existing helpline on 0800 046 8687. Select the option for reporting a positive case. You will then be advised on actions you need to take. The advice service
is available between 8am and 4pm Monday to Friday and 10am to 4pm Saturday and Sunday. This support line is available for if Academy Leaders wish to use it.
A MEMBER OF STAFF UNDERTAKING A PCR TEST ARRANGED THROUGH THE NHS – CLARIFICATION ON DIFFERENT SCENARIOS
GUIDANCE IS DIFFERENT DEPENDENT UPON WHETHER YOU HAVE GONE FOR TESTING BASED ON :
1) HAVING SYMPTOMS AND ARRANGING A TEST.
If a member of staff has symptoms, is not engaged in LFD testing and so goes for a PCR test which comes back negative – they do not need to self isolate, as long as they are
well/have no ongoing Covid 19 symptoms.
122) YOU HAVE BEEN SENT FOR/REQUIRED TO ATTEND FOR A PCR TEST BASED ON SOMEONE YOU HAVE HAD CONTACT WITH TESTING POSITIVE:
Under updated guidance from 14th December, If someone has tested positive and named you as a close contact, as part of the test and trace follow up, you will be advised
with regards to whether to self-isolate, undertake 7 day daily LFD testing, or attend for a PCR Test. Please refer back to Section 4 pages 8-10 above.
3) YOU HAVE HAD A POSITIVE LATERAL FLOW TEST BUT ARE STILL REQUIRED TO UNDERTAKE A PCR TEST AS YOU ARE IN AN EXCEPTIONS CATEGORY AS PER THE TOP OF PAGE 10
If the PCR test is positive, you must self-isolate as instructed by NHS Test and Trace. If the PCR test is taken within 2 days of the LFT and is negative, against a previous LFT
‘Positive’ you may only return to work if confirmation of this is given by NHS Test and Trace.
PLEASE CONTINUE TO ADVISE M FAICHNEY IN ALL CASES
ASYMPTOMATIC TESTING NOTE: A SEPARATE RISK ASSESSMENT IS IN PLACE SPECIFICALLY FOR THE LATERAL FLOW TESTING PROGRAMME FOR BOTH SECONDARY AND
PRIMARY ACADEMIES.
Secondary Academies are fully engaged with government and public health guidance regarding: ongoing home testing for any staff/students involved in summer
provision, on site testing at the start of the Spring Term 2022 and continuing with home testing twice-weekly for all staff and students, engaged with this programme..
Secondary academies retain the ability to offer a small on-site testing facility for use in cases where supported testing is needed.
Primary academies are fully engaged with government and public health guidance regarding: ongoing home testing twice-weekly for all staff engaged with this
programme.
Academy Leaders will review the Digital Platform and VYED portal regularly, to monitor testing reporting data for the site. This will support Academy leaders in ongoing
promotion of the home testing programme, with staff (and students in secondary), ensuring ongoing engagement.
USE OF PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE)
All staff will receive clear information and updates as needed on protective factors public health guidance - requirement for, use of and training in effective use of PPE in
education settings, as is clearly set out in: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/safe-working-in-education-childcare-and-childrens-social-care/safe-working-in-
education-childcare-and-childrens-social-care-settings-including-the-use-of-personal-protective-equipment-ppe
All staff have been provided with an information poster which outlines key steps to support effective use of PPE. (Via Marie Faichney)
Children/Students whose care routinely already involves the use of PPE due to their intimate care needs should continue to receive their care in the same way. Academy
Leaders will complete risk assessments for any/all students this applies to ensure staff are fully advised/trained in use of PPE and procedures with individual children.
Where a child, not already identified as being routinely in need of intimate care, requires changing or intimate care support, parents/carers will be contacted to attend
and support as needed. Discussions will then take place with regard to any needs newly identified which may require a risk assessment/routine support procedures.
In the case of dealing with a child who is unwell, use of and procedures associated with PPE will be applied.
In the case of dealing with individuals requiring first aid treatment, use of and procedures associated with PPE will be applied.
Central Services procurement procedures will ensure use of local supply chains to obtain PPE. Where this is not possible, and there is un- met urgent need for PPE in
order to operate safely, central services will approach the local authority resilience forum.
Stock levels of all PPE will be monitored actively and weekly. Standard weekly deliveries to each site will be established and reviewed weekly.
For secondary academies implementing Lateral Flow Testing (LFT) programmes, all PPE and equipment and training on use will be supported directly by the DfE/PHE.
WHEN TO SEEK ADDITIONAL ADVICE FROM LOCAL PUBLIC HEALTH ‘TRACE COVID’ TEAM: Tracecovid19@stoke.gov.uk 01782 231222.
See Operational Guidance https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/coronavirus-covid-19-local-restrictions-in-education-and-childcare-
settings?utm_source=18%20August%202021%20C19&utm_medium=Daily%20Email%20C19&utm_campaign=DfE%20C19
13The thresholds, detailed below, can be used by settings as an indication for when to seek public health advice if they are concerned.
For most education and childcare settings, whichever of these thresholds is reached first:
5 children, pupils, students or staff, who are likely to have mixed closely, test positive for COVID-19 within a 10-day period; or
10% of children, pupils, students or staff who are likely to have mixed closely test positive for COVID-19 within a 10-day period
In order to ensure focus is in place around possible outbreaks, Attendance Officers must liaise daily with Covid Co-ordinators/Principals to ensure information sharing on
positive cases reported and/or absence reported linked to Test and Trace advice.
COMMUNICATION MEASURES
Staff work with children to explain, embed and revisit frequently the protocols and routines.
Staff understand steps they must take if they become aware of a suspected case. Report information to the Principal immediately.
Staff understand steps they must take if they become aware that they have had contact with a person who has tested positive. Report information immediately.
All staff are aware of the NHS test and Trace system and the academy leaders actively promote engagement with this programme as needed, in all cases, informing HR
and seeking HR advice and support as needed.

USE OF ENVIRONMENT AND RESOURCES.
Additional cleaning regimes are established and in place.
De-cluttering of areas will remain a key focus step, to support the highly effective additional cleaning programmes in place.
Hand hygiene measures are in pace across the entire site.
For shared specialist resources, e.g. Music, D&T, PE, Science equipment, plans are in place for frequent, thorough cleaning between use as required an recommended
through CLEAPPS specific guidance.
EDUCATION PROVISION
Attendance
School attendance is mandatory for all pupils of compulsory school age and it is a priority to ensure that as many children as possible regularly attend school.
Where a child is required to self-isolate or quarantine because of COVID-19 in accordance with relevant legislation or guidance published by UKHSA or the DHSC, they
should be recorded as code X (not attending in circumstances related to coronavirus).
Where they are unable to attend because they have a confirmed case of COVID-19 they should be recorded as code I (illness).
For pupils abroad who are facing challenges to return, code X is unlikely to apply. In some specific cases, code Y (unable to attend due to exceptional circumstances) will
apply.
Leaders will ensure that remote education is provide for students who are unable to attend school because they are complying with NHS Test and Trace instruction, as
part of government guidance or legislation around self-isolation.
Leaders will also ensure that pastoral support is offered to students who are self-isolating.
15 Holidays should not be booked during term time. If this is planned, parents must complete a leave of absence request form. Schools make decisions around granting
leave of absence and will not normally do so for a holiday.
For cases where students are abroad, unable to return, liaison with the local authority will be undertaken accordingly.
Vulnerable children
Where pupils who are self-isolating are within the Government’s definition of vulnerable, the social worker should be notified (if they have one) and, for looked-after
children, the local authority virtual school head should be notified. The best way to maintain contact and offer support must be agreed.
Procedures in place will ensure that:
1. A vulnerable pupil is able to access remote education and support
2. Regular checks are made to ensure they are accessing remote education
3. Contact with them is regularly made to check their wellbeing and refer onto other services if additional support is needed.
Some children may be vulnerable who are not officially in statutory systems and Academy Inclusion Teams, under the Direction of the Director for SEND and Inclusion,
will seek to support any children who they believe may have challenging circumstances at home.•
ON SITE CURRICULUM
A broad, ambitious and full curriculum is planned for, for all students/year groups, with full access to specialist teaching areas.
RSHE in Secondaries and RHE in Primaries will be part of the curriculum offer to our students. Content is based on the needs of our students, with particular attention to
the importance of positive relationships, as well as mental and physical health.
Due regard has been given to hand hygiene and ventilation across all areas of the site.
CLEAPSS guidance (PE/Science/D&T/Perf. Arts), will be followed to ensure specialist practical subjects are delivered most safely. Subject leaders have developed subject
specific risk assessments as required, with particular emphasis on practical aspects of PE, D&T, Science, Music and Performing Arts. These risk assessments have been
checked and approved by Line Managers/Senior Leaders.
Live performances will be given, subject to the usual safeguarding considerations and parental permission. If planning an indoor or outdoor face-to-face performance in
front of a live audience, the current guidance will be followed and will inform specific event planning and logistics.
External facilities can also be used in line with government guidance for the use of, and travel to and from, those facilities.
REMOTE CURRICULUM:
Plans and systems are in place to enable immediate move to a remote learning curriculum, in line with the DFE contingency framework, in the case of a need to do so.
https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/coronavirus-covid-19-contingency-framework-for-education-and-childcare-settings/contingency-framework-education-
and-childcare-settings-excluding-universities
Plans and systems are in place to provide remote learning, of a high quality which is in line with on-site curriculum learning, for any student/group of students absent due
to isolation/medical needs.
Information has been provided for all parents with regard to curriculum provision as needed.
EXTENDED PROVISION AND ENRICHMENT
Wrap around care/extended provision/extra-curricular activities are in place and subject to the key control measures below and referenced earlier in this strategy.
Where students from the academy attend dual provision/alternative provision, this can continue as normal, subject to the key control measures below and referenced
earlier in this strategy.
16 For external providers - A copy of the provider risk strategy will be held on site and checks will be undertaken to ensure that it fully complies with Trust arrangements.
External providers will be required to provide our parents with/make available to parents, provider information on risk assessments/protective measures in place.
Latest guidance will be checked and followed: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/protective-measures-for-holiday-or-after-school-clubs-and-other-out-of-
school-settings-for-children-during-the-coronavirus-covid-19-outbreak/protective-measures-for-holiday-and-after-school-clubs-and-other-out-of-school-settings-during-
the-coronavirus-covid-19-outbreak
Updated Guidance Control measures
1. Ensure good hygiene for everyone.
2. Maintain appropriate cleaning regimes.
3. Keep occupied spaces well ventilated.
4. Follow public health advice on testing, self-isolation and managing confirmed cases of COVID-19.
ALL VISITS
Academy visit leaders will review government guidance when considering undertaking any off site visit. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/health-and-
safety-on-educational-visits
Academy visit leaders will undertake full and thorough risk assessments in relation to all educational visits and ensure that any public health advice, such as hygiene and
ventilation requirements, is included as part of that risk assessment. General guidance about educational visits is available and is supported by specialist advice from the
Outdoor Education Advisory Panel (OEAP). https://oeapng.info/
DOMESTIC RESIDENTIALS:
In line with the roadmap, schools can resume educational day visits and domestic residential visits. Any domestic residential educational visits must be conducted in line
with relevant COVID-19 guidance and regulations in place.
Groupings for domestic residential visits do not have to be organised as bubbles, but residential visits should ensure that group numbers are up to 30 children.
INTERNATIONAL VISITS:
From the start of the 2021/2022 academic year international visits that have previously been deferred or postponed and new international visits for the future can be
organised, unless government advice changes. Checks must be made against latest guidance before any visit is confirmed.
Academy Leaders are aware of the travel list (and broader international travel policy) and that this is subject to change and green list countries may be moved into amber
or red.
Academy leaders are aware that the travel lists may change during a visit and that schools must comply with international travel legislation. Contingency plans will be
considered and set in place to account for these changes, prior to a visit being agreed and finalised.
Academy visit leaders will liaise closely with the visit provider, commercial insurance company, or the Risk Protection Arrangement (RPA) to assess the protection
available
Academy visit leaders will seek independent advice on insurance cover. Options can be sought from the British Insurance Brokers' Association (BIBA) or Association of
British Insurers (ABI).
CLINICALLY VULNERABLE/EXTREMELY CLINICALLY VULNERABLE
STUDENTS
Following expert clinical advice and the successful rollout of the COVID-19 vaccine programme, people previously considered to be particularly vulnerable, clinically
extremely vulnerable (CEV), and high or higher-risk are not being advised to shield again. Children and young people who were previously identified as being in one of
17these groups, are advised to continue to follow the guidance contained in Coronavirus: how to stay safe and help prevent the spread.
https://www.gov.uk/guidance/covid-19-coronavirus-restrictions-what-you-can-and-cannot-do
Children and young people previously considered CEV should attend school and should follow the same COVID-19 guidance as the rest of the population. In some
circumstances, a child or young person may have received personal advice from their specialist or clinician on additional precautions to take and they should continue to
follow that advice.
All CEV pupils are expected to attend their school unless they are one of the very small number of pupils under paediatric or other specialist care and have been advised
by their GP or clinician not to attend. Academy staff will discuss any concerns parents may have about this, and this will include consideration of specific
accommodations that can be put in place to ensure that the student can regularly attend.
All academies should ensure they have a list of these children, through clear information sharing and communication with parents and medical professionals as needed.
These children will then be supported with either attending schools with additional risk assessment mitigation in place, or supported with effective remote learning at
home, if they are medically advised not to yet attend school. This remote learning programme will be monitored to ensure engagement with a curriculum in line with
their peers.
Academy leaders will engage with parents, EWS, School Health Teams and medical professionals, social care teams as needed for any concerns relating to these students.
The Director of SEND and Inclusion must be advised regarding any students in this category and will support/advise Academy Principals as needed and will keep students’
risk assessments under review, including with regard to follow up with families and/or medical professionals regarding any students categorised as medically
immunosuppressed.
STAFF
From 20th January 2022, the government is no longer advising people to work from home if they can. Following expert clinical advice and the successful rollout of the
COVID-19 vaccine programme, people previously considered to be particularly vulnerable, clinically extremely vulnerable (CEV), and high or higher-risk are not being
advised to shield again. If staff were previously identified as being in one of these groups, they are advised to continue to follow the guidance contained in:
https://www.gov.uk/guidance/covid-19-coronavirus-restrictions-what-you-can-and-cannot-do
In some circumstances, staff may have received personal advice from their specialist or clinician on additional precautions to take and they should continue to follow
that advice. HR MUST be advised. HR will undertake any necessary follow up work with colleagues, to ensure effective arrangements are in place. Colleagues will need
to provide HR with medical information as required.
Whilst, under updated guidance from January 2022, individual risk assessments are not required, employers are expected to discuss any concerns that people previously
considered CEV may have. HR will liaise with colleagues accordingly and colleagues can discuss any concerns with HR, who will advise on any additional mitigation
needed.

This guidance will be reviewed regularly by HR for any updates, linked to individual risk assessments for colleagues.
18 Leaders and Governors are aware of surveillance data regarding disparities in risk relating to age and sex, where people live, deprivation, ethnicity, people’s occupation
and care home residence’ If a member of staff falls into one of these groups, they can attend their education or childcare setting and discuss any concerns with HR. HR
will provide support and advice as needed, on an individual basis, and will ensure a risk assessment is completed if required, which mitigates any risk identified.
• If staff live with someone who is shielding/extremely clinically vulnerable, under specialist medical advice, HR should be made aware. HR will provide support and advice
as needed, on an individual basis.
CATCH UP, INTERVENTION AND SUPPORT
CATCH UP
Rigorous monitoring of attendance, engagement and progression in learning is in place for students who are on remote learning, due to self-isolation or a CEV medical
reason, verified by a medical practitioner, which prevents them from attending site for face to face provision.
Swift identification, monitoring and review is in place, of key individuals/groups for learning interventions required to enable home/academy support to close learning
gaps.
Executive and Senior Leadership Team planning is in place for initiation and implementation of focused learning interventions, supported by Government funding.

o supporting vulnerable children and keeping children safe
Planning and implementation of Lateral Flow Device Testing (LFDT) programmes in academies.
MANAGING COMPLEX CASES
Clinically extremely vulnerable students returning to school will be supported through home/school planning and discussion with regard to additional mitigation required
to support their return.
19 Clinically extremely vulnerable students who remain advised to shield will be fully supported to engage in learning at home/remote learning and support to them and
their families will be directed through the Director of SEND and Inclusion working with Academy Principals and Inclusion Teams.
Vulnerable groups children are expected to be in school and Academy leaders will work proactively with parents and families and multiagency partners to ensure this.
Where there is a case for a child from these groups to remain at home, through an identified professional recommendation, or government advisory letter, multi-agency
support will be in place to support the child and the family.
A RAG rating system is in place between academies and the Local Authority to monitor where there are risks, in order to implement appropriate action.
Senior Leaders, the Director of SEND and Inclusion will support SENCOs in monitoring EHCP/SEND support students, and students with medical needs. Individual risk
assessments will be in place to ensure full and appropriate monitoring and support for students with an EHCP and/or learning/medical need pending EHCP.
Senior Leaders and Inclusion leads will work with Children’s Services, Social Care and the School Health Hub to carefully monitor and support children on a
CP/CHN/Medical plan.
Inclusion teams and identified link staff for each site will support children and families engaged in Early Help.
Daily calls will be routinely in place for any students not attending school. Weekly calls/monitoring of engagement in learning will be in place for remote learning cases.
Parents are aware of expectations regarding attendance and the academy team work with the EWO to address and resolve any attendance concerns.
Risk assessments will be in place for behaviourally challenging/AP students to ensure control measures are followed and not compromised.
Plans will be in place to ensure support assistance for students with identified needs to engage in Lateral Flow Testing programmes where consent is given for them to
engage.
TRANSPORT
Provider Transport
Where any academy students are identified as travelling on dedicated school transport, leaders will verify with the provider that govt. recommendations are followed
and that appropriately updated risk assessments are in place. This may include continued recommendation from providers to use face coverings. From 27 January, there
is no longer a legal requirement to wear a face covering. The government suggests that you continue to wear a face covering in crowded and enclosed spaces where
you may come into contact with other people you do not normally meet. Students/Parents will be advised that children must not board home to school transport if
they, or a member of their household, has symptoms of COVID-19. Government advice is available on: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/face-coverings-
when-to-wear-one-and-how-to-make-your-own/face-coverings-when-to-wear-one-and-how-to-make-your-own
Public transport.
Academy leaders will encourage parents, staff and pupils to walk or cycle to school where possible, to ease pressures on public transport at peak times. Parents can access
updated guidance via: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/coronavirus-covid-19-safer-travel-guidance-for-passengers
Academy Transport
Before, during and after use of academy transport, the following steps will be taken to minimise risk of infection/transmission.
• Thorough washing of hands/ Use of hand sanitiser upon boarding and/or disembarking
• Additional cleaning of vehicles
• Optional and/or recommended use of face coverings – in line with Government guidance.
For any Positive case identified
20When someone who tests positive has travelled in the same vehicle as other people, NHS Test and Trace will assess close contacts. Consideration will be given to:
• vehicle size, degree of face-to-face contact, length of time in close proximity, whether a Perspex screen is in place
ADDITIONAL STAFFING, CROSS SITE WORKING AND VISITORS TO SITE
Agency staff/Peripatetic staff and ITT colleagues are made fully aware of academy procedures and risk measures, and must comply with them at all times. Compliance of
visiting staff is monitored, alongside substantive staff, as part of active monitoring.
For all contractors/suppliers, visits to site are supported through all staff being aware of the risk strategy across sites and ensuring compliance. Protocols are in place, as
referenced under Section C of this risk strategy which will be implemented in the case of a site/local community outbreak.
Covid 19 secure risk documentation between the Trust and providers are shared and reviewed to ensure agreed compliance.
Cross site working is supported through all staff being aware of the risk strategy across sites and ensuring compliance. Protocols are in place, as referenced under Section
C of this risk strategy which will be implemented in the case of a site/local community outbreak
HR must be made aware of all recruitment needs, which will then be supported/managed through HR recruitment protocols.
COMMUNICATION MEASURES
Senior Leaders run regular Risk Strategy update briefings for staff, supported by the Executive Leadership Group and the HR Director
Staff work with children to explain, embed and revisit frequently the protocols and routines.
