#ChildrensMentalHealthWeek

So much negative focus on the current need for temporary remote education.

Let’s remember why it’s necessary
@educationgovuk FAILED to plan, fund & implement the SCIENCE BASED safety measures required in all other indoor settings where households mix

And a direct result of this between September and December we watched as teachers, school staff, pupils and their families became ill.

Some were hospitalised, some died, some still haven’t returned to pre-infection health, some never will.

Stop the negativity

No more talk of LOST learning or MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS or GENERATIONAL DAMAGE or CLOSED SCHOOLS

Alternatives;
-Interrupted learning journey
-Supporting children and young people with covid-induced anxiety
-building resilience factors
-temp remote education

Let’s highlight the positives this week

Let’s re-frame how we discuss temporary remote education

It may not be ideal for all, but it’s not forever.

Everything in life has a beginning, a middle and an end.

Let’s stop the alarmist negativity.

Instead let’s be thankful our children aren’t being added to the alarming #LongCovid numbers right now.
