What happens if my child has been requested to self-isolate for a short time?

The Department of Education says that "From time to time, a number of pupils may be required to self-isolate for a short time on foot of medical advice. It is not expected that these pupils would be educated through adapted education provision during this time. Instead, schools should, at a minimum, ensure that these pupils are supported to catch up with their learning on their return to school" (page 12 of Department Guidelines)
