Helping core families back together
My idea is to allow partners/finances/ couples who for various reasons live across two households to be able to isolate those two homes as one in the same way children who move between separated parents are.
There is a significant impact on core families who live across two homes that haven’t seen each other for 7 weeks. There is a real disparity in fairness between couples who live together and couples who don't (even those in the process of buying homes etc. who ordinarily are together every single day in one or other house hold.)
My suggestion is where you and your partner and live across two houses and have been following guidelines allow these partners to make the adult decision to extend their house hold to the two homes as long as they DON’T need to use public transport to travel between those two homes and can travel by personal vehicle or by foot.
Splitting up a core family is unnecessary especially where their compliance levels have been high.

Why the contribution is important
This will support mental health improvement, ease pressure on mental health services and associated illnesses that can result from the isolation of lock down, allow for support with child care and stop separating families. Most importantly it will support a sustained period of compliance to include a whole new group of people. And I’m not talking about individuals who already share a home with another adult to extend to more adults - I am talking about partners; finances, people in long term relationships who because of their residential situation with their families haven’t been able to lock down together and are alone with no adult support.
I don’t think this is a big change and it would support continuing compliance... many homes are not realising everyone is NOT feeling this lock down the same. Whilst they have the support of their partner they live with, others are suffering forced to be alone. The mental health impact you can change for a large group of people very easily.
