I am asking this in a professional capacity as the question has arisen at work in my team.
We have several people who are in the vulnerable category with eg asthma who have been furloughed. If they are required to end furlough and return to work can they object as they are in a vulnerable group? Would they only be able to do this if they had a shielding letter? And what about if they have a partner who is shielding and they want to not return to work so as to protect them?
Obviously want to do the right thing as only the individual’s concerned know anxious returning to
work may make them feel. But at the same time business needs have to be met somehow. It’s a tricky one.

If you are in the vulnerable group but not shielding do you have to return to work when requested?
