A college where a teacher died of Covid-19 has become the first educational establishment in the UK found to have to breached health and safety laws during the pandemic.
Burnely College in Lancashire was found to have failed to ensure staff safety during the outbreak of the virus in a damning report by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).
The report followed an HSE investigation into the death of Donna Coleman, 42, in January last year.
The findings showed the college failed to “meet social distancing and ventilation requirements” in an office Ms Coleman shared with two colleagues - even after one tested positive.
