Question: If I'm transporting children, what precautions should I be taking?

Answer passage (source: UK):
page_title: Guidance Safe working in education, childcare and children’s social care settings, including the use of personal protective equipment (PPE)
section_headers: Should social care visits to extremely clinically vulnerable children and young people continue?
section_content: Extra care should be taken visiting children and young people who are
extremely clinically vulnerable and so are at very high risk of severe illness
from coronavirus because of an underlying health condition. They should follow
shielding guidelines and stay
at home at all times and avoid face-to-face contact where possible.
Coronavirus brings additional risk and complexity to social work practice and
may necessitate some different ways of working which should always be risk-
based.
Visits to provide essential support such as social care or personal care
should continue only following a robust risk assessment.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
Context is what to do when visiting children vulnerable or otherwise.
Links to guidelines to use during in-person visits, but doesn't mention transportation.

Answer passage (source: UK):
page_title: Guidance Safe working in education, childcare and children’s social care settings, including the use of personal protective equipment (PPE)
section_headers: What protection is needed when transporting children?
section_content: If the children or young people being transported do not have symptoms of
coronavirus, there is no need for a driver to use PPE.
In non-residential settings, any child, young person or other learner who
starts displaying coronavirus symptoms while at their setting should wherever
possible be collected by a member of their family or household. In exceptional
circumstances, where this is not possible, and the setting needs to take
responsibility for transporting them home, or where a symptomatic child or
young person needs to be transported between residential settings, you should
do one of the following:

use a vehicle with a bulkhead
the driver and passenger should maintain a distance of 2 metres from each other
the driver should use PPE, and the passenger should wear a face mask if they are old enough and able to do so

*[PPE]: personal protective equipment

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
Describes protective measures that should be taken when transporting children during the pandemic.
Terrible answer because it is promoting not using PPE if a child shows no symptoms.

page_title: Guidance Coronavirus (COVID-19): safer travel guidance for passengers
section_headers: Public transport
Children on public transport
section_content: Where travel is necessary, consider whether children could walk or cycle,
accompanied by a responsible adult or carer, where appropriate.
Social distancing applies to children as well as adults. Children should keep
their distance from others who are not in their household, where possible.
Public Health England recommends keeping a 2 metre distance from
others. If this isn’t
possible children should avoid physical contact, face away from others, and
keep the time spent near others as short as possible.

Staying alert and safe: social distancing guidance for young people

If you are the responsible adult or carer travelling with children, please
help them follow this guidance, wear face coverings, minimise the surfaces
they touch and maintain their distance from others, where possible.
Children under 2 years old are not recommended to wear face coverings.
Schools may have additional guidance in place for children on transport which
we recommend you follow.
