Prioritise family relationships
Give special dispensation for families to have an opportunity to have more direct contact, particularly those who have family living in another area of the country. This could be done by enabling up to two households to come together for a period of time and form an extended household, especially if then living together for this short period of time.
Why the contribution is important
I live in the northern isles and work in a school so have been confined to travel during school holidays. Parents live in north east of Scotland. Parents were initially shielding, and with the outbreak in Aberdeen in the summer, when we could travel, we chose not to to help the cause and to continue to protect family. We’re now in October. Approaching another school holiday and find we are unlikely to be able to travel again. This means my young children and their grandparents have been deprived of a whole year of contact. It’s heartbreaking. If we were allowed to visit my parents in their home and live with them, then this would make a significant difference to quality of life.
