In collaboration with Policy Scotland and the Network for Social and Educational Equity, Children’s Neighbourhoods Scotland is undertaking a programme of research and intelligence gathering in high poverty settings across Scotland that seeks to understand how local responses are working in the current rapidly changing context, and provide insights that can support the next phase of COVID-19 action at both local and national levels. 

This document is part of a series that shares regular insights emerging from the research.

It focuses on the lessons learned from the ‘hubs’ – the critical provision provided to vulnerable pupils, and children from key worker families during the COVID-19 pandemic – and draws in the responses of interviewees who reflected on a number of themes relevant to the planning that is underway for schools to return in August 2020.
