• A bought summat from Wowcher last year, and still get the emails - they've changed their focus from fairy lights and chintz to loo rolls and hand sanitiser.

    Charity-wise, I'm very concerned about the effect on vulnerable, and especially abused, children. For those at risk from parents or guardians, this is going to be the worst of times, especially as proximity, frustration, poverty and impotent rage build-up. My Childline training has been delayed by this and there aren't enough people to answer the phones already, before lockdowns kick in.

  • There was some mention within the government statement yesterday that there would be schooling still available for vulnerable children, but am unaware if there's any detail on how this will work in terms of who this applies to, which schools will provide spaces, teachers etc.

  • Any kids with CP issues raised will still be attending school.

    I know that doesn't solve the issue with the ones we know about but it helps.
