About the CVRO

The COVID Review Observatory is a resource that records, tracks, and assesses reviews of responses to the COVID-19 pandemic from a human rights perspective.

On this website you will find out what the parliaments in Westminster, Belfast, Cardiff and Edinburgh are doing to subject government responses to the COVID-19 pandemic to review. You will also find analysis of these reviews, focusing on how independent they are, how evidence-based they are, how participatory they are, and how much they take into account the human rights impact of the pandemic responses they are reviewing.

Funding

The CVRO is funded by a grant from the Arts and Humanities Research Council under the UKRI scheme for Innovation Awards relating to COVID-19.
