Lancaster University) The pandemic has the potential to be a watershed moment for social policy, but this is not a foregone conclusion, say Essex and Lancaster University researchers.They call for a human rights framework to be central to the planning for a post-COVID future for the sake of equity, justice, and sustainability.Authors of a new book call for the focus to be firmly on medical care, food, housing, 'other necessary social services' and access to digital technology.
