Like many organisations last year, WDH had to adapt to homeworking for many of its employees so we could keep you and our people, as safe as possible and still ensure we could deliver our services to you. To help us learn more about your experience and expectations during the COVID-19 pandemic, we would like to invite you to take part in an independent survey, which forms part of a wider research project.

I am sure you will all agree that 2020 been a very challenging year. Whether you have been isolating at home, continuing to work, combining work with playing the role of teacher or carer, have overcome the virus yourself or have tragically lost a loved one, I think it is safe to say that all of us have been affected in some way by this pandemic. I hope that we may now be over the worst and we might be able to look towards a more positive 2021.
