As educational psychologists and in our work with schools we know that they are flexible and will be able to use this advice to meet their own particular needs. Local schools know their communities, their families and their children and young people. The aim of this advice is not to be prescriptive but to offer suggestions at a time of uncertainty.Psychologists recognise that for some children, being at home for extended periods of time can be difficult. It is for this reason that we have explicitly considered continued liaison between schools, families and relevant professionals while the current measures are in place
