On ALLIANCE Live this week we shared a podcast discussing balancing work and childcare, and spoke to 3 AHPs about new ways of working.
Maternal and paternal rights during COVID-19
“There’s still a very stubborn resistance to looking at how we can better balance work and childcare.”
In this ALLIANCE Live podcast, Senior Policy Officer Hannah Tweed speaks to Katie Wood, Senior Legal Adviser at Maternity Action (this link will take you away from our website). Listen to find out more about the organisation’s work on maternal and parental rights during COVID-19, and the impact of current policies on people – and particularly women.
How AHPs have adapted to new ways of working during COVID-19
In a series of podcasts, AHPs from NHS Ayrshire and Arran describe how services have adapted and continue providing care and support.

Cyber Resilience: COVID-19 and the “new normal” webinar
Alison Stone, Cyber Resilience Co-ordinator at SCVO joined us to present this cyber security webinar which examined the impacts COVID-19 has had on organisations and services, including an overview of how things have moved on over the last 3 months, as well as what we need to be aware of in this next phase of the “new normal”. A Q&A session followed the presentation.
A recording of the webinar will be uploaded to the ALLIANCE YouTube channel (this link will take you away from our website) soon.
