Compulsory vaccinations and prohibiting unvaccinated people taking part in parts of public life are policies which I imagine very few rights experts could have predicted being seriously proposed, let alone implemented, two years ago. Has the world changed? Have we?
18 months of lockdowns, death and disease have clearly had a profound effect on societies and politicians' conception of what personal liberty is. How to balance the risk of widespread death and disease with civil liberties? Are there right and wrong answers here?
(obviously, there are RIGHT and WRONG answers on Twitter because everything is either right or wrong with no middle ground but I'm talking about in actual policy making by policy makers with almost impossible choices to make)

This is a difficult one. I have discussed it a few times here over the past year also. Will link to a few of the threads below
Basically - it’s possible but unlikely that a teacher is a relevant person. To be fair, I haven’t checked if the guidance has been updated
The guidance still suggests that it will be NHS test and trace not the school which will give formal notification therefore triggering the legal duty to isolate Image

I have short comment piece in the Mirror on this story - I think that the "unofficial Christmas party" on 18 Dec 2020 with 40-50 people at No. 10 probably broke the Covid rules. /1
At the time (Tier 3), you could only have gatherings over 30 indoors if they were a "permitted organised gathering", but that would require households not mingling, or if "reasonably necessary for work".

/2
But a Christmas party was very unlikely to be "reasonably necessary for work"

Although not binding on a court, it is probably relevant that the government's own guidance at the time said this:

Last month I took part in a fascinating debate at @OxfordUnion on whether we should give up “liberty for safety”. Speakers included Lord Sumption, @ProfKarolSikora, @AllysonPollock and others. Really worth watching. This was my speech (our side won)
