Abstract

The impact of the COVID-19 crisis has been widespread and has been felt most keenly by groups and communities which are often deemed to be ‘vulnerable’. The Scottish Public Health Observatory (ScotPHO, 2020) has developed a  'vulnerability’ index in which areas in Scotland are categorised according to how vulnerable they are to the adverse effects of the crisis. Across Scotland there has been a significant response to mitigate the impacts of the pandemic at national government, local authority and community levels. This review presents evidence to support a continued shift in focus from ‘vulnerability’ to ‘resilience’ which will positively shape the long-term approach to COVID-19 recovery.
