Covid-19 Guidance for parents of children in schools
Main symptoms of Covid-19 – temperature, new cough, loss of taste or smell
What do I do if my child is ill at home?
First of all, do not leave the house. It is vital that you do not send your child to school if they or any members of the family have any of these symptoms. If you have other children then they also should not attend school. Please inform the school of the reason for your child’s absence.
Who do I contact?
If you or your child has any Covid-19 symptoms (no matter how mild) then you should go online to NHS inform website for information and you must to arrange a test.
If you are concerned about your child’s symptoms ( if they are more severe) call NHS 111.
What happens next?
Tests will be arranged for you and are available either at the nearest drive through centres and through the post. NHS will advise you what to do. Do not leave the house unless going for a drive through test. Test results should be with you within 48 hours. The test is only reliable if you have coronavirus symptoms. You should be tested on the first 3 days of symptoms appearing.
Test and Protect Public Health
Currently if the infected person tests positive then they must stay at home for 10 days
Other family/ household members who live with the infected person ( who do not have symptoms) must stay at home for 14 days from the date the infected persons symptoms started.
What happens if others in the family become unwell?
If others in the household develop symptoms they need to stay at home for 10 days from the day the symptoms started. This is even if it takes them over the 14 day isolation period.
What about others my family have been in contact with?
The Track and Trace procedures will be initiated by NHS and Public Health and the contacts of those with a positive test result will be alerted.
What will happen if my child is ill at school?
If your child becomes symptomatic in school, you will be asked to collect your child immediately. All emergency contact details on annual data check need to be updated to enable this to happen.

Message From The Lost Woods Project
Dear Schools, Parents & Carers
Thank you so much for supporting your children to grow oak tree seedlings for our project. I hope you have enjoyed watching your wee seedlings grow from a tiny acorn. We have loved seeing all your pictures that you have posted on our Twitter and Facebook page. We are also looking after the seedlings for those schools who were not able to participate and will post pictures to the schools soon.
Our original plan to collect the seedlings before the summer holidays in order to plant at various sites will no longer be possible due to COVID-19. However, we are working hard to overcome the challenges that the lockdown has had upon the project. Please help us by caring for your seedlings for longer until we are in a position to collect them and watch our seedling care video in the resources section of our website :
https://www.thelostwoods.earth/resources
We are working in partnership with the Glasgow Science Centre, Glasgow City Council and Eadha Enterprise to find great sites for your precious seedlings. Beautiful green spaces where you can watch your seedlings grow into strong oak trees. Of course some children may prefer to keep their own sapling after having cared for it for so long and we can offer guidance on this. Perhaps as a school you have space and wish to plant some of yours on school grounds (or in large containers) – we’d love to hear from you too if this is the case.
Please let us know how many seedlings you have managed to grow.
We are also working with world famous artists, singers and authors to develop new and exciting home learning resources for children.
Please stay updated and support us by following us on social media and check our YouTube channel which will be launched this month.
Thank you for all your support,
The Lost Woods Project Team.
