Headteachers can legally support Clinically Vulnerable parents by registering children as a "Covid Related Absence" or "Exceptional Circumstances".
At risk parents shouldn't have to choose between their lives and education of kids

Hampshire LEA is already doing this after threatening a CEV parent at a fines panel meeting. A team of lawyers from the Public Interest Law Centre turned up in support and new guidelines were issued the following day to revoke previous fines and to support learning. 
Other heads have to followed suit after reading the government response (that the decision is down to the heads).
Unfortunately official DfE guidance still remains that only CEV children are supported and CV/CEV parents (who may be more at risk due to age related risk) aren't.

@MarkStokeSouth and the @publiclawcentre have been working incredibly hard to protect the human rights of Clinically Vulnerable parents and SEN children. However, the law is slow and headteachers all need to understand that lives are in their hands.
