What could working parents do if their childs school or childcare setting was closed for an extended period?
We appreciate that closures would present a challenge for working parents, which is why we advise that closures should take place only in exceptional circumstances. However, we believe parents would agree with a closure decision taken to reduce a significant threat to their children’s wellbeing. In the case of closure, parents would have to make other arrangements for looking after their children. Some might be able to work from home, work flexible or shorter hours, or make informal childcare arrangements with a relative or friend.
