At Public Health Dorset (the local public health team at Dorset and Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Councils), they’re building a network of people to help develop and share important COVID-19 messages in our communities. One of the main responsibilities is to keep people informed about what they need to do to protect themselves and others from coronavirus.

We would greatly appreciate it if you could support this idea, by signing up to a COVID-19 Trusted Voices newsletter, and letting them know what information and resources you need, and sharing the key points with your community.

Understanding the COVID-19 guidance isn’t always easy and for some people it can be a real challenge. In our communities, we know that lots of factors like language, sensory or cognitive impairment and access to the internet can have an impact on this. That’s why we want to develop a network of people who know their communities really well, and who we can work with to increase everyone’s understanding of what we all need to do.

Please visit the website to find out how to sign up to the newsletter. You’ll need to select COVID-19 Trusted Voices from the list. If you have any contacts who might also be interested in supporting this project, please let them know about this project.
