Covid Commemoration Consultation Launched

Today, the UK Commission on Covid Commemoration has launched a consultation giving people across the UK  the opportunity to say how they think the pandemic should be remembered and with possible suggestions including the adoption of a Remembrance Sunday-style symbol, dedicated memorials and reflective spaces.  The Commission is also seeking suggestions on suitable dates to hold a national day of remembrance and views on how future generations should be educated about the sacrifices made throughout the pandemic, as well as marking key achievements such as the development of the vaccines and the valuable contribution made by volunteers.

The consultation will run for 6 weeks ending on Monday 5 December and the consultation is available in various accessible formats.  Details on how to complete the consultation are available here.
