Precarious Schooling and COVID-19

Abstract

This short reflection considers experiences of providing care as an education professional during the lockdown periods in England. My experiences as a trainee teacher and then as an hourly paid teaching assistant highlight how often the many important caring professionals were also left in particularly precarious situations during the COVID-19 pandemic.
