Around 627,000 people could be affected, as this is the number of working people classified by the government as being of clinical vulnerability to the coronavirus due to underlying health conditions.<br><br>
The TUC has warned employers not to take this as an opprtunity to call shielding individuals back to work and urged the government to extend the Job Retention Scheme beyond October to protect the most vulnerable.<br><br>
Another vulnerable group is also suffering disproportionate harm due to the pandemic - pregnant women and new mothers.<br><br>
Figures from campaign group Pregnant then Screwed revealed <a href="https://www.ier.org.uk/news/lack-of-childcare-key-to-redundancies-among-mothers-research-finds/">the diverse ways in which mothers are losing out compared with fathers</a>, including being made redundant because they can't access childcare and receiving lower income support because of maternity leave taken in the last three years.<br><br>
Against this background, the goverment is continuing to receive criticism from all sides - for <a href="https://www.ier.org.uk/news/statistics-watchdog-pm-repeatedly-misled-parliament-on-child-poverty/">repeatedly misleading parliament on child poverty</a>, for <a href="https://www.ier.org.uk/news/new-law-protects-redundancy-pay-for-some-furloughed-workers/">excluding millions of workers from redundancy pay</a>, and for its <a href="https://www.ier.org.uk/news/govt-dragging-its-feet-on-tackling-racism-watchdog-head-says/">reluctance to take action on known racial disparities</a>.</p></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%" class="mcnCaptionBlock"><tbody class="mcnCaptionBlockOuter"><tr><td class="mcnCaptionBlockInner" valign="top" style="padding: 9px;"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="mcnCaptionRightContentOuter" width="100%"><tbody><tr><td valign="top" class="mcnCaptionRightContentInner" style="padding: 0px 9px;"><table align="left" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="mcnCaptionRightImageContentContainer" width="264"><tbody><tr><td class="mcnCaptionRightImageContent" align="center" valign="top"><img alt="" src="https://mcusercontent.com/f121e48a8bb6d3101590c12d3/images/7627d9bc-2a15-425c-9348-821070d87839.jpg" width="264" style="max-width: 870px;" class="mcnImage">
