Updated Guidance from AfPE

The Department for Education has updated the Schools Covid-19 Operational Guidance (January 2022) in preparation for the start of the new term.

In order to help members to navigate this update, afPE has drawn out some key wording and relevant implications, which are outlined below. Any direct quotations from the guidance are in italics.

The document outlines the difference between ‘should’ and ‘must’, which is something those who have read Safe Practice in Physical Education, School Sport and Physical Education (2020) will already be aware of.
