Additional mitigations and measures

Where we are required to activate the local outbreak plan, we will recommend additional measures that should be put in place. These may be one or more of the following and will be set out in the school’s outbreak management plan.

• Reintroduction of ‘bubbles’
• Measures in relation to contact tracing and isolation
• Reintroduction of face coverings (communal areas, classrooms)
• Re-introduction of on-site LFT testing, or increased home testing
• Additional PCR testing
• Moving to remote learning
• Other measures based on local context of the school

Any additional measures recommended to benefit managing transmission will be weighed against any impact on educating the pupils.
