A damning investigation into Covid-19 safety at Burnley College after the tragic death of teacher Donna Coleman found that 'health and safety laws...were broken' by the college.
This is the first time an education sector employer has been issued with a formal notice in relation to Covid failings by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).
The HSE is the government body that is responsible for the regulation and enforcement of workplace safety. It opened a fatality investigation into Donna Coleman's death after UCU raised Covid-19 health and safety concerns with both the college and the HSE.
