Abstract

This research will investigate the impact of behavioural measures in response to COVID-19 on four key vulnerable groups in Scotland (disabled and chronically ill, criminal justice populations, domestic abuse and sexual abuse survivors and refugees, asylum and destitution affected) and the organisations that support them. It will identify challenges and adaptations, employing qualitative methodologies. Research evidence will be continuously disseminated via a website and outcomes will include developing resources to inform policy development, improve worker training, and support third sector organisations.
