The short-term impact of COVID-19 on the Social Support Services Sector

This report analyses the availability of social
support services during the first period of the COVID-19
pandemic and explores in how far the nature or quality
of these services changed. Furthermore, it considers
how the far-reaching health, social and economic crises
affected the workforce providing the services. As persons
with disabilities were disproportionally affected by the
outbreak of COVID-19, the analysis focuses on social
services that support them in care homes, day care
centres, sheltered workshops or at home.
