Children’s services, social distancing and COVID-19

Episode 30,   Jun 29, 2020, 08:05 AM

Social distancing has made it difficult for practitioners to provide the same level of regular support and direct contact to children and families. Other than occasional doorstep visits, check-ins are no longer face-to-face but observed through video and telephone calls. How are practitioners ensuring that children and families’ needs are still being met?

We talk to Dannie Adcock-Habib, a Children’s Services Practitioner at the NSPCC’s Grimsby Service Centre about the pressures of the lockdown, the long-term impact of the pandemic and more. Tune in to listen to the full discussion.
