Newsflash - Communication to parents regarding Coronavirus

Posted  19th March 2020

Communication to parents regarding Coronavirus

Following our advice last week on homeworking during the Coronavirus (and given the recent guidance for schools to close), we have been working on a form of wording that you can modify and send to parents informing them about homeworking and how this will impact on data.

Please note that this wording only applies to personal data and taking this data off site. There may be other issues that you want to cover within a communication to parents (for example dealing with school closures, taking care of pupils with symptoms, etc) and the wording can be included within a wider communication.

The wording can be found on our new Jedu platform, under the sub category “Other Documents“ and titled “Coronavirus Communication to Parents“. If you have not yet logged in to Jedu do email us at support@judicium.com.
