The Learning from Lockdown Roundtable comes at a pivotal time for housing and the future health and wellbeing of populations as we start to come out of the current pandemic and seek to learn the lessons from a prolonged period of lockdown, in particular, the impact of social isolation and loneliness on health and wellbeing and what this means for future housing and the creation and design of new housing programmes.

On the 8th October 2020, CIPFA in partnership with Breaking Barriers Innovations (BBI) hosted a virtual seminar to discuss how system leads can help reset the UK’s approach to investing in prevention. In particular, by reflecting on the events of the last year and sharing best practice, we explored what practical steps local authorities, NHS, civil society and system providers, and Government can take in moving this discussion forward.
On the 31st July 2020, over 150 stakeholders from across the country joined Breaking Barriers Innovations, the Jo Cox Foundation, and their Connection Coalition for a virtual webinar to launch the Breaking Barriers Portsmouth Action Plan.
This webinar was borne out of the shared belief that social isolation and loneliness needs to be prioritised, not just by voluntary sector organisations, to become a recognised priority for any organisation concerned with the economic and health impacts caused by social isolation.
In June this year, our Partnerships Director, Nic Werran and Research Director, Dr Jon Bashford spoke with CIPFA as part of their CIPFA Speaks! podcast series.
They talk about how we can best understand what ‘place’ means for the individual, not just the system, Dr Jon Bashford talks through our recent Playbook work in Portsmouth, and CIPFA share their ideas about why being able to measure prevention is so important to improving services.
