There will be six to begin with and apart from one , will involve pre-recorded presentation followed a live question and answer session, looking at topics such as policing the lockdown, on-line security, the development of psychological support for front line workers and their families as well as the long-term effects of Covid-19 on businesses and the economy.

UCLan’s Dr Carol Cox, UK Lead for PROTECT within the School of Forensic and Applied Sciences, said: "The pandemic triggered by COVID19 has been unprecedented, impacting on every person, business and industry. It has demonstrated loud and clear that companies and organisations need to build resilience into their DNA.

The ability to react quickly and decisively to change, and to be able to recover quickly from a disaster, is central to long-term sustainability.

“The university is at the forefront of developing qualifications in this area and through UCLan PROTECT we have access to expertise drawn from disciplines across the University to provide a holistic approach to crisis and emergency management.
