The DfE has updated its contingency framework for education and childcare settings ahead of the autumn term, in line with wider government guidelines. It says that the updated framework includes “the new thresholds at which you might consider seeking public health advice and taking further action to reinforce measures already in place, updates to the circumstances in which local health protection teams or directors of public health might recommend you introduce some additional measures, and annexed guidance for managing cases in settings from 23 August”. This article highlights some of the main thresholds included in the document.
