The “arbitrary” policy of keeping all schools open during Level 5 restrictions needs to be urgently reviewed, as schools are now facing a “very different” environment due to rising infections and a new Covid-19 variant.

That’s according to Fórsa, the union representing 12,000 Special Needs Assistants (SNAs) and school staff around the country.
