We are urging parents, children and young people to continue to follow social distancing guidance during the half term holidays.

During half term, parents can form a childcare bubble for a child under 14, with one other household, ideally who live locally. The childcare bubble is for childcare only and should not be used to mix with another household for social reasons.

A childcare bubble is different to a support bubble which is a support network linking two households. You can only form a support bubble if you meet one of the following criteria:

• You live by yourself
• You have a child under one
• You're a single adult living with one or more children under 18
• You're the only adult in your household not in need of continuous care
• You have a child under 5 with a disability who requires continuous care

You're aged 16 or 17 living with others of the same age and without any adults
