One of the most challenging areas in September will be providing a fair and supportive service for our wrap-around care.

What we know is that we will not have the space or capacity to offer this in the same way we have done in the past. We must ensure that our key-worker families have access this provision but understand that many of you will want to have access to it to enable you to return to work.

At this stage, please can I ask you to consider all possible alternatives to using our after-hours service so we can prioritise the families with the greatest need.

More information will follow once local heads have been able to review the final guidance due in the middle of August.
