"Hundreds of teachers with long Covid are suing the Department for Education
(DfE) over its handling of the pandemic within schools, i can reveal.
More than 120 teachers are part of the joint legal action over alleged failures
to protect teachers working in schools during the pandemic and a lack of
support for those who say they have been left disabled and unable to work as a
result of contracting the disease.
The legal challenge – which claims policy failures led to teachers becoming
infected in schools – aims to secure income protection for education staff with
long Covid, disability rights and compensation for lost livelihoods. If
successful, the Government could face a multi-million pound compensation bill."
