How have Covid-19 measures affected adults at risk?
Wednesday 8 July
2.00 pm – 3.00 pm
What will we discuss?
In this session Laura will be looking at the impact that Covid-19 has had on the lives of adults at risk. There will be a focus on how the measures have impacted adults with learning disabilities, physical disabilities, and visual and auditory impairments.
Laura will explore the following questions in the seminar:
- Lockdown has been difficult for all of society, but have the measures been particularly difficult for adults at risk?
- How have adults at risk been treated in health care?
- What challenges have services had?
- And what positive outcomes have been created as a result of the ‘new normal’?
What Other Safeguarding Issues Can We Talk About?
Changes in legislation and the current lockdown will pose a challenge for any safeguarding champion. Every Wednesday we will host a dedicated safeguarding hour on Twitter. This is an opportunity to ask questions and get the support from the wider safeguarding community online.
