Will people who work with children get fed up of doing a covid test at home

We might find that companies have no alternative. If customers have a choice between using pubs, restaurants etc that insist on vaccines for staff and customers and using ones that don't, the market might make the choice for them.  I know which I would give my custom to.

No, I don't think they will get fed up.  Teachers here have been going to testing sites (away from school) twice a week to get tested, as have others in jobs where they can't work from home, because they know it's important.  A home testing kit will be more convenient.  In the case of people working with children, the people at most risk from covid are the adults so it is in their best interest to know whether they or their colleagues have it. 

If your 'missus' agrees with you that it's too much hassle, perhaps she should re-read the school's covid risk assessment and put things back in perspective (or if it's just you, read it yourself and see what lengths schools are having to go to, then reassess).

Just do what is happening in many places in the private sector "no vaccine, no job" and extend it to "no verifiable test, no job"

Which could, quite possibly be illegal and unenforceable. And hopefully employers who try it on will be taken to court/a tribunal for a definitive answer.

Hopefully it is proved completely enforceable, the same for hospitality venues, then we can keep the anti-vaccination idiots away from the rest of us. 

And those unable to have a vaccine. 

The number of people who can not have the vaccine for medical reason is incredibly small, as such in any proposed vaccine passport system their GP would be able to flag them as vaccinated as far as the passport system was concerned.

My wife (frontline NHS staff) has being twice weekly at home COVID tests for about 5 months - it is not that difficult - you get the result in 30 minutes ....
