Covid-19 UK Public Inquiry:
Early next year the Covid-19 UK Public Inquiry will hold its final public hearing examining the ‘social impact’ of the pandemic.
UNISON is aiming to collect and share as many stories from workers as possible, to both contribute evidence to the Inquiry and to form the basis of an internal report covering UNISON members’ story of the pandemic.
There are two online workshops coming up which will be used to hear these stories, for BSL members and for all other disabled members. Each workshop will be an hour long with a 15 minute break.
Please use the links below to register:
BSL members:
18th November, 12:00-13:15 – British Sign Language workshop
All disabled members:
25th November, 12:00-13:15 – All disabled members workshop
Disabled members were often particularly affected by the pandemic. These workshops are an opportunity to make sure your stories are heard.
