Lockdown restrictions are slowly easing in England and some things will be changing from today (8 March).

The biggest change is that schools will be reopening and all children can return to the classroom. Wraparound childcare, such as breakfast and after-school clubs can also re-open.

Residents can meet one other person - not in their household or support bubble - outside socially. So far this year it has only been for exercise.

Indoor visits to care homes can start again for a single named visitor - please check with the care home before you go.

The stay at home and stay local message remains, meaning you should only leave home where necessary, for work, exercise and shopping. The stay at home restrictions will be in place until at least 29 March.
