COVID-19 legal help

Our Covid-19 Virtual Vacation Scheme at the Justice Hub brought students from The University of Manchester together from all over the world to research areas that have been directly affected by the current pandemic.

The aim of the scheme was to simplify some very complicated areas of law while creating an accessible and informative method of legal help for the community.

The following videos and documents were created by our students as an introduction to family law, employment law, housing issues, carers’ issues, and the impact of the Covid-19 crisis.

The resources were produced during a virtual Vacation Scheme in June 2020. The information and guidance reflects policy at the time and may be subject to change.
