Did you think you were going to get full pay whilst self-isolating?

hi I had to advise school son had a temp cough and runny nose last Thursday got a text the school must not come to school till the test is done or till get negative from the result  

A runny nose is not a symptom of COVID but if you have a cold at the same time as COVID then it can be passed on through the runny nose e.g. if tissues are left lying around or if hands aren't washed after the nose is blown.

Was it a dry continuous cough?
Was his back or chest hot to touch?

If the answer to both of those are no then you could argue your son did not have symptoms of COVID (in accordance with NHS guidelines) and the school were not justified in asking you to self-isolate.

The school is 100% in line with the guidance!

Child had a temperature.
That’s a potential symptom that requires household isolation and a test.

And the ‘dry’ description of the cough was dropped in March - it’s been ‘a new continuous cough‘ for several months now.

Thus I had to self isolate due to the above reason and thus only got SSP thus hit my pocket and not able to claim the new payouts as that not hit till 28.09.20

But what can anyone on here do about that? Ask for some advice on how to manage on your lower wage for this month. There are many people who had to take SSP to self isolate - it used to be that it wasn’t even paid for the first 3 days. It’s difficult to manage I know.

it seems I do not wish to be rude but I have said several times that I did not choose to be off for the days was told by my FC die the issue with my son as he lived with us and is only 10 years old  
that y I said would have been better to have kept quiet and carry on at least got the full payment for the month 

Genuine question- would you care at all about the risk of transmission or exponential growth?

High temperature is defined on the NHS site as "this means you feel hot to touch on your chest or back (you do not need to measure your temperature)"

The original poster has not clarified how it was decided the child had a high temperature or how that was communicated to the school.  If it was touching the forehead to see if it feels warm then that alone isn't enough.  If a high temperature was recorded on an accurate thermometer or if the chest or back were touched to see if they feel warm and they did, then they should remain at home and get tested.

The current NHS advice (which now relies on everyone with symptoms arranging a test) only states other members of the household don't have to self-isolate for 14 days if a negative result comes back before 14 days is up.  If it's the school policy that the adult with no symptoms must get a test as well and get a negative result before returning to work then it's the school who need to decide a policy for what happens for the days when the NHS do not state self-isolation must continue.

No school should have that policy - it’s not in the govt guidance 

But if child is reported to the school as having or having had a high temperature then the guidance is that they should not attend school, they should get a test and not return until they have a negative test result or until after 10 days, whichever comes sooner.

What the parents work requires is a completely separate issue and nothing to do with schools.

I thought the parent in question worked in the same school as their child attended, which is why they knew about their sick child and insisted the adult got a test before returning to work, meaning in this case it's the school's policy for both the sick child and the parent who lives in the same household.
