With lockdowns increasing across the UK and winter on its way, how stretched are our public services and the people who keep them functioning on a daily basis? How can we help support the wellbeing of those we are relying on to get us through the pandemic and beyond?
In this session we explore:
- The Covid-19 experiences of our frontline workers
- What support structures are in place for our frontline workers
- Whether prevention and longer term thinking is being lost in the immediate Covid-19 response, and are we storing up problems for the future
- Can frontline sectors learn from other organisations responses to Covid-19
- What policy makers can do to learn the lessons of Covid-19
