Abstract

2020 has seen significant challenges to social engagement broadly due to the COVID19 pandemic, including social distancing, stay-at-home orders and lockdowns. These precautions have challenged the ability of CoSA (Circles of Support and Accountability) projects around the world to maintain the all-important aspect of social engagement. This research investigated the potential impact that COVID-19 has had on CoSA provision and providers in the UK, Europe, Canada and the USA; particularly, in regard to social distancing and remote working.
