The following is from the guidance local authority the full document is available here.

Let me say it again. The guidance states it is not acceptable for an employee to choose not to work for the above reasons and this will be treated as unauthorised absence without pay and possible formal disciplinary action.

Now come on, I would argue that section 44 of the employment act 1996 states that:

What is the difference between clinically and clinically extremely vulnerable?

One in four people who have died from the virus thus far has had diabetes (NHS). Yet this does not come under the extremely vulnerable list?

My father is a BAME male has diabetes (one is four COVID deaths) is over 70, (older age is the factor most strongly related to risk of death from coronavirus (Diabetes UK)). So if I have interpreted this correctly. If I live with my father, I am expected to go to work come home and expose him to that risk?

I hope I have misread the guidance and I also understand this is guidance from a local authority. If I have misunderstood or got anything wrong (I genuinely hope I have) I am more than happy to be corrected, to apologise and change if needs be.
