This edition of Futureminds has been put together during the Covid19 lockdown. There are articles from DATA, the Textiles Academy, British Nutrition Foundation, Food Teachers Centre, Learnbylayers, STEM centre, and Boyd Education. There is also the news from CLEAPSS and the smallprint.

This guidance is additional to all standard operating procedures across your school and CLEAPSS Guidance in general.

This guide will be regularly updated and should be read in its entirety. Users may also need to read the other guides listed below.
