Carnegie: What does Cross-sectoral collaboration look like through a pandemic? What worked, what didn’t and learning to build back better.

The Emergency Leadership Group (ELG) was established by the Minister for Communities to lead and co-ordinate the voluntary and community sector response to the Covid19 pandemic.   Group members came from the voluntary, and community sector, government departments and agencies and from local government.   Working in close proximity on new projects during very uncertain times,  ELG members forged partnerships and ways of working that crossed sectoral and departmental boundaries and delivered impressive and impactful results.

This workshop will explore what worked, what didn’t work and how do we ensure the learning from this time allows us to build back fairer.

Panellists:

Moira Doherty, DfC

Kate Clifford, RCN
