OK this is your third and final chance to answer the question or you are in detention or ready to go on TV to talk about anything other than what you are asked.The point of guidance is you credit the population with having the IQ to do it and for it to become a habit.
Hands - Face - Space........................ Jesus, Mary and the wee donkey even the referenced "small child" could manage that!
There is little point in legislation because you would be expecting the very same thick fudgers to enforce it.
I was genuinely amazed we are still getting 30k+ cases a day but having ventured out it's easy to see why.
It's either stupidity or selfishness.
Sorry you are wrong. They are following to the government guidance well. It's the guidance that is failing them.
Why do you get that impression when I never said it? How many times do I have to use the word mitigate in relation to the school environment for you to understand me?
Because if it's a law far more people will abide by it than if it were guidance. It can also makes it easier for others to make a point of it without the comeback of 'it's only guidance'.
They can and do, when my kid was off with it and for a bit when they returned their class was put in a bubble by itself, no shared play times, lunch in the classroom not in the hall, earlier pick up to minimise mingling on the way out etc. but that doesn't fit with someones narrative that if it isn't law it can't be done!
Private school maybe. State schools get a pretty clear stear from the LA whether they are in a Trust or not. I assume it's so they don't upset the open everything up freedom brigade. Popularisum in action even if it may not be the best think to do (
where have we seen that before?). 
Three and out!So the answer to your question is: "The guidance provides the framework that sensible folk, with an average level of intellect, can apply to their life for the benefit of themselves and/or others. "
EG: Guidance says "Don`t drink a 1 litre bottle of spirits in one go, it might kill you or make you really poorly" but there is no law to stop you from doing it.
And for a bonus "squirrel"...... What's the point of the Highway Code then as most of that is guidance? It's only the "must not" that fall foul of the law.

That said our school was very quick to 'move away' from the guidance and apply real common sense once the outbreak hit. So good on them.
Updated: my second child (the one with asthma) has 20 mins ago recorded a pretty strong positive LFT.
They are expected to do why the LA says the should do. A lot of pressure on Headteachers.
They did, but only once it had struck. I get the feeling they felt they then had the ammo to say sod you.

The question wasn't 'what's the point of guidance?' which is what you have answered but 'what's the point of guidance if people don't follow it?'.
All you ever do is lay out what you consider to be the virtues of guidance. You don't say what should happen if your average person in the street doesn't follow the guidance. It's a general question. Doesn't have to be covid specific.
