Coronavirus (COVID-19): Advisory Sub-Group on Universities and Colleges
This group is no longer active.
Overview
The Coronavirus (COVID-19): Advisory Sub-Group on Universities and Colleges will give detailed consideration to how public health and related scientific advice can be applied to operational implementation.
It will support Scottish Ministers and relevant Scottish Government senior officials to:
- interpret SAGE and COVID-19 Advisory Group outputs as well as other emerging scientific and public health evidence, in relation to university and college issues in the context of Scotland
- provide expert advice spanning the disciplines of public health, clinical advice, behavioural sciences, economics and statistical modelling, combined with expertise in educational and other issues relevant to universities and colleges
- advise Scottish Government, relevant Directorates, and ASD colleagues on taking a strategic approach to identifying, accessing and using data to support our understanding of managing Covid-19 risks in university and college settings
- provide expert advice, recognising the four harms, to support and inform the development of guidance for universities and colleges, and as an aid to forward planning for both sectors
- develop links with other SG COVID-19 Advisory sub-groups, as appropriate
