Parliament and parliamentarians use these insights to help carry out their function effectively; that is to say, to represent the people, scrutinise the government, debate important and pressing issues and pass legislation. To speed up the process of parliament accessing relevant research expertise, the Knowledge Exchange Unit at UK parliament are creating a COVID-19 outbreak expert database.
If you have any expertise relating to COVID-19 or its impacts (for example, on welfare, employment, education and other key areas), and if you would be prepared to provide expert insights to parliament (for example, providing insights to contribute to a library briefing, briefing a member of parliament, helping respond to an enquiry), please sign up to their database.
Please can you email Peter Griffiths, Director of Greenwich Research and Enterprise, with a copy of your submission.
