The government guidelines for managing Covid in office environments are really clear that anybody who can work from home should work from home.
I've read them today. I've been going into work all through the pandemic as an NHS key worker so no axe to grind, but I really really wish employers would follow this, its there to prevent us getting overwhelmed, we came very close in March and April.
"Steps that will usually be needed:Staff should work from home if at all possible. Consider who is needed to be on-site; for example:
– workers in roles critical for business and operational continuity, safe facility management, or regulatory requirements and which cannot be performed remotely.
– workers in critical roles which might be performed remotely, but who are unable to work remotely due to home circumstances or the unavailability of safe enabling equipment."

The childcare that we normally pay for are breakfast and after school club and a childminder to collect the children and bring them home. However, we are unable to obtain the school clubs and we are not currently permitted to use the childminder (social distancing). Take care and I hope we all survive these uncertain times.Working hard to be money and people wise1 -
