As both my right hon. Friends, the Prime Minister and Chancellor of the Exchequer, have made clear, the Government will do whatever it takes to support people affected by COVID-19.

Our latest school workforce guidance on COVID-19, including supply teachers, is set out below:

Further guidance on financial support for all education institutions is set out below:

These are rapidly developing circumstances. We continue to keep the situation under review and will keep Parliament updated accordingly.
