Thread by @AdamWagner1

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

Obviously anyone told to isolate by the school should for safety reasons but I don’t think it will generate a legal obligation unless there has been a specific designation which doesn’t appear to be happening (based on the schools guidance)
