How are you feeling about the children going back to school? This week, children across England, Wales and Northern Ireland are going back to school after their summer break, and after a year and a half of disruption because of Covid 19. In Scotland, most schools have been open for two weeks.

For some, it's a huge relief that life is returning to normal, but for others there are real concerns that it could increase the risk of Covid infection. As children mix closely with others at school, could that increase the likelihood of them bringing the infection home? Many of the stricter rules imposed on schools by the government have been relaxed. It'll mean that school feels more like normal, but might it also increase the risk of infection? If you're a teacher or head teacher, are you feeling prepared? What protections have been put in place to keep you, and your pupils, safe?

Tell us - how are you feeling about the children going back to school? From 11.00am on Tuesday 31st August, call us direct on 03700 100 444. Or you can email us - youandyours@bbc.co.uk and leave your phone number.
