Minutes:
The Board received and noted the report of the Director of Public Health detailing the Southampton Covid-19 Community Engagement Plan. National evidence from the first phase of the pandemic had shown that strong community engagement was crucial to preventing the spread of the infection and to manage local outbreaks. Southampton had a strong community response to the first phase of the pandemic and a wide range of community assets were mobilised and enabled the City to respond successfully through a challenging time.
The Board noted that the plan had several objectives and it was important to listen and adjust messages accordingly to ensure that support was targeted to those who needed it. A detailed action plan was in place to support delivery of the targets as detailed in the appendix to the report.
The Board encouraged feedback on the plan and acknowledged that this would be a live document updated regularly. It was also the intention of the Board going forward to introduce a question and answer function to allow members of the public to raise questions.
