If you read my articles for SecEd regularly, you will know that a recurring theme is the way that different staff groups are treated in schools – particularly those in the lowest pay grades.
One group I have wanted to write about for a while is school cleaners – a group too often ignored until their value suddenly becomes apparent, as has been the case of late. Having worked in the fields of HIV and health and safety, I can tell you that I value these colleagues greatly.
At the time of writing, there are more than 20 schools closed due to concerns about pupils and/or staff who may have had exposure to COVID-19.
