Silver Linings Project
The Covid-19 pandemic lockdown and subsequent adjustments to find Covid-secure ways of working have driven new thinking about ways to deliver Children’s Services, in schools, in early help and in children’s social care.
The aim of the Silver Linings project was to capture and publicise the best of these innovative responses, in an attempt to embed these new and better ways or working into the “new normal”.
This final set of case studies showcase the remarkable resilience and innovation shown by those working in children’s services across the South East.
We are aware that these 16 studies merely provide a snapshot of what has already been achieved by our colleagues as they continue to cope with the challenges of dealing with this global pandemic.
We publish the case studies on a "take-it-or-leave-it" basis; with no selection and no endorsement of them.
We look forward to our Covid-secure on-line launch is planned for Friday 26 February 2021.
