Home Testing for Early Years Practitioners

On 2 February 2021, the First Minister announced that it was their intention for those who work in schools, and those who work in early learning and childcare settings attached to schools will be offered ‘at-home’ testing twice a week.

If your work does not provide the Lateral Flow Tests, they can be ordered from here: Order coronavirus (COVID-19) rapid lateral flow tests – GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)

These results can then be reported to Report a COVID-19 rapid lateral flow test result – GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)
