Question: Well educational opportunities still be provided to vulnerable children?

Answer passage (source: UK):
page_title: Guidance Supporting vulnerable children and young people during the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak - actions for educational providers and other partners
section_headers: Supporting vulnerable children and young people’s learning
Specific considerations for educational provision for children and young people with EHC plans
section_content: Due to the unprecedented circumstances presented by the coronavirus outbreak,
the duty to secure the special educational provision specified in EHC plans
has been temporarily modified so that local authorities must use ‘reasonable
endeavours’ to secure the provision. We have published detailed guidance
alongside these temporary
changes.
Local authorities and educational providers will need to work closely together
to consider what can reasonably be provided to support children and young
people with EHC plans. This will include work with health partners to ensure
services for additional support and early help, for example around anxiety,
mental health, behaviour, social care, or changes to mobility, will be
available, being mindful that these considerations could apply to pupils and
students who they did not previously affect. Similarly, they should work
together to ensure key support services - in particular home-to-school
transport - are available.
*[EHC]: education, health and care

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
There is only information about getting support for EHC students with mental health.
This answer needs to be improved because it describes the EHC educational plan for vulnerable students, but does not describe how to apply or who can apply for it.

Answer passage (source: UK):
page_title: Guidance Critical workers who can access schools or educational settings
section_headers: Vulnerable children and young people
section_content: During the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, for the purposes of continued
attendance at educational settings, vulnerable children and young people are
defined as those who:

are assessed as being in need under section 17 of the Children Act 1989, including children who have a child in need plan, a child protection plan or who are a looked-after child
have an education, health and care (EHC) plan and it is determined, following risk assessment, that their needs can be as safely or more safely met in the educational environment
have been assessed as otherwise vulnerable by educational providers or local authorities (including children’s social care services), and who are therefore in need of continued education provision - this might include children on the edge of receiving support from children’s social care services, adopted children, those at risk of becoming NEET (‘not in employment, education or training’), those who are young carers and others at the provider and local authority’s discretion

*[EHC]: education, health and care

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
This is a bad answer because it only lists what classifies a vulnerable child. This answer does not mention the educational opportunities for these vulnerable children during the pandemic.
This sets out the things that makes a child considered vulnerable, but does not address educational opportunities.

Answer passage (source: UK):
page_title: Guidance Supporting vulnerable children and young people during the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak - actions for educational providers and other partners
section_headers: Identification of vulnerable children and young people
section_content: Vulnerable children and young people for the purposes of continued attendance
during the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak are those across all year groups
who:

are assessed as being in need under section 17 of the Children Act 1989, including children and young people who have a child in need plan, a child protection plan or who are a looked-after child
have an education, health and care (EHC) plan and it is determined, following risk assessment, that their needs can be as safely or more safely met in the educational environment
have been assessed as otherwise vulnerable by educational providers or local authorities (including children’s social care services), and who could therefore benefit from continued attendance. This might include children and young people on the edge of receiving support from children’s social care services, adopted children, those at risk of becoming NEET (‘not in employment, education or training’), those living in temporary accommodation, those who are young carers and others at the provider and local authority’s discretion.

The term ‘all year groups’ in this context for attendance purposes refers to
children under 5 eligible for early years entitlements and children and young
people aged 5 to 18 (or aged 5 to 25 for children and young people with an EHC
plan).
[EHC]: education, health and care
  [NEET]: not in employment, education or training

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
This is a bad answer because it only lists who is classified as a vulnerable child/student, and not the actual educational resources available to vulnerable children/students. Therefore, this does not answer the question.
This only offers the things required to be considered a vulnerable student and doesn't address educational opportunities.
