Coronavirus (COVID-19): strategic framework for reopening schools and early learning and childcare settings: initial impact assessment

Conclusion

The impact of school and ELC closures has had a disproportionate impact on particular groups of children and young people and adults. The Scottish Government must continue to engage closely with stakeholders and local authorities to ensure that the impacts that will be experienced on different groups are considered as plans to fully re-open schools and ELC settings in Scotland progress.

This process must continue to be in partnership with stakeholders and local authorities, ensuring that the stakeholders who represent the interests of groups who may be disproportionately impacted are involved.
