We have been made aware that vulnerable children are:
- children and young people with a named social worker. This means children who are subject to child protection plans, children in need and those in care;
- children and young people who have an education and health care plan (EHCP) in both special and mainstream schools;
- This does not therefore include all children with SEN. Only Children with a named social worker or EHCP will therefore be in school during the school closure alongside those identified as a key worker child where there is no other adult to supervise.
- If your child falls in to the vulnerable children category please email the head teacher ( headteacher@dovedale.derbyshire.sch.uk) with vulnerable pupil in the contents tab stating name and name of social worker and whether you wish them to be in school during the closure.
