Minutes:
The Committee considered the petition for the first time and agreed to write back to the Minister for Education to share the comments made by the petitioner. and ask:
·
whether,
and how, she considers local or regional disparities in education provision for
the children of key workers could be avoided in the event of any future
reduction in school provision; and
·
whether
contact groups or ‘bubbles’ from September will be available in full to the
children of key workers, or any parents who need to access wraparound
childcare.
