  • Update from the DfE regarding the Coronavirus

    Thu 13 Feb 2020

    The government is monitoring Coronavirus and taking action at home and abroad. The risk to individuals remains low.

     

     

    Public Health England has changed the advice for individuals who have travelled recently as follows:

     

    Travellers from Wuhan and Hubei Province

    If you have travelled from Wuhan or Hubei Province to the UK in the last 14 days you should immediately:

    • stay indoors and avoid contact with other people as you would with the flu

    • call NHS 111 to inform them of your recent travel to the area

    Please follow this advice even if you do not have symptoms of the virus.

     

    Travellers from other parts of China and other specified areas

    This advice applies to travellers who have returned to the UK from the following areas:

    • Elsewhere in China

    • Thailand

    • Japan

    • Republic of Korea

    • Hong Kong

    • Taiwan

    • Singapore

    • Malaysia

    • Macau

    If you have returned to the UK from any of these areas in the last 14 days and develop symptoms of cough or fever or shortness of breath, you should immediately:

    • stay indoors and avoid contact with other people as you would with the flu

    • call NHS 111 to inform them of your recent travel to the country

    Encouraging good hygiene

    As always, if you have symptoms of a cold or flu, then there are measures you can take to stop germs:

    • always carry tissues with you and use them to catch your cough or sneeze. Then bin the tissue, and wash your hands, or use a sanitiser gel.

    • wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after using public transport. Use a sanitiser gel if soap and water are not available.

    • avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands.

    • avoid close contact with people who are unwell.

  • Information from the DFE regarding Coronavirus

    Thu 06 Feb 2020

    We have received the following information from the DFE which we've been asked to share with you.

     

    Coronavirus – Advice for all early years providers, schools and further education providers

    The government is closely monitoring the spread of the Coronavirus and is taking action at home and abroad.

     

    The overall risk of Coronavirus to the UK remains moderate. However we understand that people may be concerned where there are children, students or staff returning from or visiting China.

    Public Health England and the Foreign Office have issued advice for anyone travelling to the area. This can be found at:

    Latest information and advice can also be found at:

    Advice for parents/guardians

    You should not be unduly worried about the possibility of your children catching the Coronavirus. There is no reason why your children should not continue to attend their early years, school or further education setting as normal. We recognise that some families or children may be planning to travel to China during the forthcoming half term period. If so, please refer to the FCO’s latest travel advice via the link above.

     

    The Government and NHS are well prepared to deal with this virus. You can help too. Germs can live on some surfaces for hours. To protect yourself and others:

    • Always carry tissues with you and use them to catch your cough or sneeze.

    • Bin the tissue, and to kill the germs, wash your hands with soap and water, or use a sanitiser gel.

    • If you have arrived back from China within 14 days follow the specific advice for returning travellers.

     

     

  • Have your say on how up to £25m worth of investment should be spent in Stapleford!

    Thu 06 Feb 2020

     

    In September 2019, it was announced that Stapleford had been chosen as one of 100 towns selected to receive a share of £1bn, being made available to regenerate towns across the UK. Stapleford will receive funding of up to £25m to invest in delivering projects to address the wider regeneration of the town. These projects will be delivered through and a combination of public and private sector partnership working. As part of the Towns Fund announcement, the Government has tasked Stapleford to come up with a number of ambitious projects which will inform a Town Investment Plan (TIP) and this is where we need your help. The TIP will outline the size and scope of the proposed projects and how they will drive future economic growth in the town, as well as help determine the amount of funding received.  We want to ensure that as many ideas as possible are generated to help inform the TIP, and that the local community is involved in the process. Please click on the link and have your say!
