<p>Government has issued <a href="https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.gov.uk%2Fgovernment%2Fpublications%2Fcoronavirus-covid-19-maintaining-educational-provision%2Fguidance-for-schools-colleges-and-local-authorities-on-maintaining-educational-provision&data=02%7C01%7CKate.Reyes%40beis.gov.uk%7C409afff3a1a441accee208d7e4820797%7Ccbac700502c143ebb497e6492d1b2dd8%7C0%7C0%7C637229119428140281&sdata=kUWc1cSeclIE30zwF3n%2F%2FjyfzHWbugaYOYYceHoM%2FL4%3D&reserved=0"
target="_blank">guidance</a> on maintaining educational provision for the children
of critical workers during the Covid-19 outbreak. The guidance does not use the term
‘key workers’.</p><p>Critical workers are defined as those whose work is critical
to the Covid-19 response, based on consultation across Government. This could include
workers that install electronic security systems, for example in hospitals. However,
within the guidance on critical workers, there is no blanket inclusion for workers
in that particular occupation, or in any other construction occupation.</p><p>Government
policy remains that construction work should continue, provided that it is undertaken
in a manner consistent with the PHE guidance.</p>
