Grandparents seeing grandchildren
Can grandparents who aren't vulnerable be able to see their grandchildren? My mum and dad looked after my 3 year old when I am at work full time. They started looking after him when he was 4 months old, pretty much every weekday. Since we have been in lockdown they obviously haven't seen him at all, which is starting to affect their mental health. Please please please allow grandparents, who have been self isolating and not vulnerable to see their grandchildren.
Why the contribution is important
I think this idea is important as I feel that this would have a deep affect on mental health. My son is asking constantly why he hasn't seen his nana and papa, so it's doesn't just have an impact on myself or my mum and dad, it has an impact on my son as well.

We have told them the doctors say we can’t visit but we can still see them.
Every time we come off FaceTime all 3 kids are upset and so is the grandparents.
Seeing them over camera is totally different to seeing them in person and having small contact such as hug.
I obv wouldn’t want to risk giving them anything from the kids but the distance is having a huge impact on people well being of all ages

I cannot bear to think about this possibility
