Covid-19 Committee

What are your long-term hopes and fears for what COVID-19 means for your daily life, at work, at home and society?

 

The NEW House of Lords Covid-19 Committee would like to hear your organisation’s thoughts on the topic.

How can you help?

There are a number of opportunities to get involved with the Committee’s current inquiry.

  1. Share your organisations views with the Committee by 31 August 2020.

The questions the Committee is considering are:

  • Are there any positives you would take from this pandemic?
  • What are the things that you are most worried about?
  • What do you most hope changes for the better?
  1. Contribute to the Committee’s call for submissions on Twitter. The Committee is asking people to share videos, photos, songs, poems, artwork on their hopes for life beyond Covid. Tweet your submissions to @HLCOVID19Com with the hashtag #LifeBeyondCOVID
  2. The Committee wants to hear from as many people as possible across the UK. We’re asking, you, our UK Parliament Week partners to share the Committee’s call for submissions with your networks.
  3. Over the coming weeks, we’ll be putting together other ways for people to share their views with the Committee designed for groups of under-18s and groups that already meet in their communities. If you’d like us to let you know when these opportunities become available email [email protected] with the subject Covid-19 Committee.

 

The big issue

 

There are lots of other committees in Parliament looking at the direct impact that the pandemic is having on our lives today. The Covid-19 Committee wants to look into the future and think about those things that, several years from now, will be (or should be) different than they would have been if the pandemic had not happened.

 

This could be because of rules in place that mean we have to do things differently, or it could be because experiencing the pandemic has changed how we think or feel, or because the immediate impact that has been experienced is so strong that is has consequences for the long term.

 

I would like to share my thoughts with the Covid-19 Committee
