Proof of essential worker form?

[hazzeem025]

Hi,

I need to get a form/proof to my sons school by Friday at the latest to prove that I'm an essential worker.

Does such a document exist within Royal Mail?

Or can someone point me in the right direction as to where I can find one?

Cheers!

We got a letter issued by management early on in this drama, it's mentioned in the RM Coronavirus Q and A document:

I am worried I will be stopped when travelling to or from work or when performing my role?

Your manager has been sent a Key Worker letter to print off for you. Please carry this with you, along with your company ID.

and in same document

Are all Royal Mail employees classified as key workers? How do I let the school/nursery know?

We know that childcare is a significant challenge for many of you, especially now the schools have closed. We understand that childcare is always your key priority. We want to support you and your teams to manage this.

The Government has said that Royal Mail Group workers are included in the list of those whose work is critical to the covid-19 response. We are connecting customers and communities, which is more important now than ever. This means that if you have school-age children who cannot be cared for at home, they will be able to continue to attend school, even though it has been announced that most schools are now closed.

Please ask your manager to for the letter which confirms you are a key worker for Royal Mail – sent to them on Friday 20 March. Together with your identification card, you will need to take this letter to your child/ren’s school. The letter applies for both Royal Mail and Parcelforce colleagues.

You should only send your child(ren) to school or nursery if you really need to and do not have anyone who could look after them.
