The Impact of COVID-19 Policing: Community Testimony Day

Join us online to share your views and/or experiences of policing under COVID-19 and for a chance to win one of two £20 vouchers.

This online event is led by Co-POWeR, a research project and consortium formed by the Universities of Leeds, Sussex, Goldsmiths, UEL, Southampton, South Wales, Royal Holloway, UCL and Warwick. We are investigating practices of well-being and resilience in Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic families and communities (BAMEFC).

When this study concludes in late 2022, Co-POWeR aims to provide evidenced recommendations to enable official mitigation of disproportionate damage to well-being and resilience in BAMEFC.

This Community Testimony Day will be an opportunity to collect testimonies and views of BAME families and communities on the policing of emergency powers (e.g., mandatory face masks, restrictions for outdoor gatherings, etc).

The event will run from 5.00pm to 6.30pm but you can join at any time to share your testimony/opinions, and for a chance to win one of two £20 vouchers which will be raffled among all attendees.

The Zoom link to join will be provided closer to the date to all who have registered via Eventbrite:
