The House of Commons Library has published a briefing looking at some key issues and frequently asked questions in relation to schools and the coronavirus outbreak. The briefing covers: the re-opening of schools in England, guidance for schools and colleges in England on the precautions they should take and the groups of children they should prioritise: the approach being taken in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland; and research on the home learning environments and how children and young people in different circumstances may be affected by the school closures.
