We are doing our very best to stay at the forefront of the conversations around Covid-19 and support for the sector.
Many of our partners have put together useful toolkits or information pages and there are a variety of different support systems in place. This page will collate much of this information so you can find the best support for you.
Local SENs and Third Sector Interfaces are working locally to support organisations. If you would like an introduction please get in touch with sarah@senscot.net or kim@senscot.net
We will continue to communicate via twitter and our weekly bulletin.
