• considering the purpose and functioning of the cabinet and individual cabinet members in response to COVID-19
• examining changes to governance arrangements, decision-making and meetings
• exploring developments in community leadership and community resilience
• recognising the very ‘personal’ side of COVID-19 and how councillors look after themselves and others during the initial emergency and beyond.
