Response 10-03-2022

1) Total Staff Absent due to Long Covid is 14 – (breakdown – Teaching Staff/Support Staff/Admin/Residential Workers). The low numbers associated with a further breakdown/categorisation of this number may result in the identification of individuals: a breakdown of this number is therefore exempt from release under Section 38(1)(b) of the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002 - Personal Information. 

2) Yes they all have Long Covid/Post Covid on their Fit Notes
