You can read the further guidance in full and the DfE has also provided a new template letter which you can use if you need to confirm your critical worker status.
This letter may be helpful if you are trying to access a school place for your child/children however you are advised to contact your school/s to clarify what arrangements they have in place to prioritise provision.
