Important message regarding the Y6 residential - please take the time to read

Residential Update
Firstly we hope the children who were ill have fully recovered and those that avoided being ill are still fine. We also hope that you, as parents and any other family members are also well. 
We would like to thank you for your support in getting your children home safely. We know that as parents ourselves, it’s not easy to receive phone calls like that, especially for some, in the middle of the night. 
As it stands, we know that around 35/44 children and 2 of the staff members have been ill with stomach cramps, headache and severe sickness. We also know that parents and siblings have also become unwell over the weekend.
It has come to light that the hostel had a school group in before us that departed on Wednesday morning. We arrived after them at approximately 11am. The other school contacted the hostel that evening at about 7pm to tell them 7 of their children and 3 staff members had become unwell on the bus journey home. We know this because we have done some research and found out which school it was and been in contact with them over the weekend. They also said one of their children had been sent home on day one unwell which they presumed was a stomach bug. 
The other school contacted the hostel the following morning at approximately 7am (Thursday) to say that the number had increased to 22. 
The hostel contacted the other school later on on Thursday morning to ask them some questions regarding suspected Norovirus. We are unsure why they thought it was suspected Norovirus, however something we are keen to establish is whether a member of the YHA staff had had the virus prior to the first school arriving, as this had been suggested by another member of the YHA staff. We are trying to find out if this is true. 
The hostel did not tell us about any of this and it only came to light through some heated discussions first thing on Friday morning when we were able to speak to some of the hostel staff. (Mr Jones was sharing as much of this as we knew with parents who arrived between these hours by the entrance.)

Obviously knowing this earlier, we would have been able to make informed decisions sooner, and by not telling us they put our children at risk, a decision we find completely unacceptable.
The hostel itself told Mrs Cooper it had closed on Friday, but our staff continued to turn other customers away as you were arriving to pick up your children. The closed sign went up as the last of our children was collected at 10.12am; in our opinion another example of the disregard for what had occurred. 
Mrs Cooper has been in touch with numerous agencies including Flintshire County Council, the management of the hostel at Conwy, the management of the YHA company, the Health & Safety team at YHA and Public Health Wales. These discussions will be ongoing with any relevant updates given.
Public Health Wales are now involved with the YHA in Conwy and are carrying out a deep clean of the building. This doesn’t help us now but at least we know how serious they are taking the events we experienced. They have asked for each of you to provide some information. They want to know your child’s:

• Full name
• Address
• Date of birth
• Symptoms
• Onset of illness time and date
• Recovery date

They also want to know if you got a fecal sample and the results. 

 
Please can you email this information to reynoldsj116@hwbcymru.net Mrs Reynolds will transfer all the information onto their Spreadsheet. 
 
We are in discussion with YHA ‘Resolution Department’ regarding refund/compensation. We will keep you updated with anything we hear with this. It would help if you could write or email a complaint to customerresolutions@yha.org.uk.Include what impact this has had on your child/family, for example, have others in your family become ill and/or has anyone missed out on anything due to the sickness/virus. If you are happy to, please copy Mrs Reynolds into this email, so we can keep track. 
We collected every piece of property from the bedrooms and the drying room and carried them through Conwy to the bus waiting to take the four of us back to school. Each room has its own bag so hopefully it will be easy to identify. 
After school on Tuesday at 3.30pm we will be spreading the items out on the school playground. We would advise that anything that is collected will need to be placed in a plastic bag to take home.
If your child has taken anything home that is not theirs can they bring it in on Tuesday in a plastic bag and we will add it to the other items that need collecting.
Finally for now we want to say how brave the children were; they were so resilient and took everything in their stride. You should be very proud of them; we are! Also, the children that managed to stay clear of the sickness showed patience and understanding.
As a staff, it's difficult to put into words the emotions we are feeling but as parents, we certainly hope the children know how much we care about them.
 
Thank you again for your support with this. We will do our utmost to help.
