Mr. Pike has made a very important point. Many issues relating to special education needs are still to be clarified, one of which relates to face coverings. I have a question for the representatives of the TUI on face coverings. Principals who have contacted me are concerned that it is not clear what evidence they should rely on where a child is seeking exemption. There are many justified exemptions, but the principals were not clear as to what they should rely upon and in what circumstances they should allow a child not to wear a mask. Does the TUI believe that needs to be clarified?
