A DAMNING investigation into a college in Lancashire after the death of a teacher has found that Covid-19 health and safety laws were broken, the University and College Union revealed today.

The incident at Burnley College is the first time an education sector employee has been issued a formal notice in relation to Covid-19 failings by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).

The HSE opened a fatality investigation into Donna Coleman’s death after UCU raised concerns with both the government body and the college.
