[QUOTE="JRT, post: 2297930, member: 520947"] Interesting section on ITV 1.00pm news about shielders returning to work. Apparently 12 charities approached Government saying need for furlough scheme to be extended and or adapted. Matt Hancock interviewed and said perfectly safe if work environment covid safe[emoji849]. What did follow was very helpful interview with employment lawyer who gave the clearest explanation of what employers legally must do and what the employee can do. It's very good,I've recorded it for future use. I think more may change but it will take time and the government wont do anything unless no other choice. On the whole,and for most people work is as safe as can be. There are some exceptions and I think schools are one of them. I hope they are indeed safe for the majority of staff and pupils. Childeren need to be back at school for their wellbeing, mental ,social,and physical. I think those lucky enough to be able to work in a covid safe environment need to show a little compassion for those that are still negotiating it. Would they spend 8 hours in a crowded pub/restaurant/nightclub/gym with limited access to PPE and with poor ventilation? If they cant see the similarities and the insanity of the situation I imagine lack of compassion is probably the least of their problems. [/QUOTE]
