I won’t be giving consent for my child to be tested.
I’ve seen a job advert on gov. Uk for testers for secondary schools £9/£10 an hour. No healthcare experience necessary but would be advantageous! Nothing mentioned about DRB check. It’s so wrong subjecting children to invasive test and it concerns me greatly that it will end up that the untested child is punished by either isolation or denied education.

Please would you be able to post the link for the job advert? I want to write to my MP about it, thank you
Apologies just seen your message today.
I have struggled to be able to put the link on here so I’ve just gone on internet search and found it like this:
Gov. U.K. jobs
Search: tester covid
Area: I left blank
In the results this came up 3rd or 4th down: school COVID testing assistant.
Received an email from my child’s secondary school yesterday re: the testing.
It will be lateral flow tests, does not state frequency e.g daily weekly etc.
The child will do the test themselves (hopefully they’ll do it wrong ie not deep enough) and the school are asking for parent volunteers to oversee this in case a child is struggling to do the test!!!
We are strongly encouraged (in bold type underlined) to complete the consent form. Nothing mentioned about not giving consent. It is my concern (well one of them) that they will coerce my child to do the test and say he gave his own consent.
So now I need to prepare a letter stating no consent etc etc.
I notice the gov.U.K. Ad I refer you to today does mention dbs check whereas the previous advert for a specific school did not.
My child’s school is asking for parent volunteers which is very dubious indeed.
