Matthew Lariviere, Warren Donnellan, Lily Sepulveda, Sarah Gibbon, Paige Butcher

Research output: Book/ReportCommissioned report

Abstract

The Mobilise Carer Assessment Platform is an Aspect-funded project involving a collaboration between social science academics (at the Universities of Sheffield and Liverpool) and external business partners (Mobilise – founded during ZINC mission 2) and their software providers.

The project is examining the challenges of caring during a global pandemic, and exploring how, and to what extent, a virtual platform can help families cope with new ways of living and caring during an ongoing and evolving public health crisis.

Following research, this report recommends four key ways local authorities can ensure their carers are supported as effectively as possible.
