Collective Voice has worked hard to support the sector at this challenging time. We will be updating this page when new relevant guidance emerges so please keep checking back. We are also looking into what else we can collate or create to strengthen this resource bank. If you have any ideas please email peter@collectivevoice.org.uk.
There is also a Slack channel open for information sharing across substance misuse treatment.

Several months on from the onset of Covid-19, our understanding of what has worked and where challenges remain has increased substantially. Many organisations have published evidence, research and comment on how services have been sustained during the crisis – we have begun to compile these resources on a new webpage.
