Guidance notes

The government has published a series of what are described as "guidance notes" on what might be generally described as lockdown provisions
Can someone explain if these are the law and if so how did they become law
My problem is the word guidance has a dictionary meaning which does not indicate compulsion so if the guidance notes are compulsory why call them ".guidance"

Thanks

Why the contribution is important

To clarify what people should be doing and avoid them breaking the law

    To add to the confusion, the First Minister often implies that the guidance is more strict than it is. For example, the guidance says you can work if you cannot work from home, whereas the FM says you can only work if your work is essential.
