The Covid-19 Day of Reflection is being held this year on the 8th March and provides an opportunity for us to come together, to remember those who lost their lives since the pandemic began and to honour the tireless work and acts of kindness shown during this unprecedented time.

This is the first of two webinars we ran to support the day. Presenters shared resources and ideas for the Day of Reflection for care providers, and legacy examples that started during the pandemic which continue to have a positive impact on care and support provider services, the people who they support, together with families, friends and staff.
