This material may include, but is not limited to, the following:

• Any documents providing briefings, analysis, evaluation or other data regarding contact tracing and self-isolation procedures in relation to schools
• Details (including minutes) of any meetings at which contact tracing and self-isolation procedures in relation to schools was discussed
• Any communications (such as those between the council and external bodies/individuals, those from central council staff to headteachers, or those from headteachers to teaching staff) regarding contact tracing and self-isolation procedures in relation to schools

The time frame for this request is 01/08/2020 to present.

Response 11-12-2020

In accordance with section 12 of the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002 'excessive cost' we are unable to provide all the information we hold in relation to your request as this would require all schools and all internal Education teams to manually search all records. 

We can, however, provide a copy of our outbreak guidance which was circulated to all schools and is regularly updated.
