Learnings from the vaccines taskforce: an apotheosis in mission, purpose and handling risk.

The Vaccines Task Force was established by the UK government in April 2020, with the objective of securing early access to effective COVID-19 vaccines for the UK population and internationally. The VTF was successful in securing the earliest access to the Oxford/Astra Zeneca and Pfizer/BioNTech vaccines, allowing the UK to be the first country in the world to deploy an approved COVID-19 vaccine. The VTF also played a critical role in supporting efforts to distribute vaccines globally, as one of COVAX's earliest and largest donors. This article presents the perspectives of senior members of the VTF on the features of the task force model which enabled this success, and considers lessons for when and how a similar approach should be applied to other public health and public policy challenges. We seek to identify principles for mission led government, and implications for how the structure and apparatus of governance can be organised to support this, including the application of the Task Force model where appropriate.

Policing Vulnerability: The Care and Control of Sex Workers Through Designated Police Officers

Abstract The state’s duty to protect vulnerable people gives rise to powerful forms of social intervention, especially in policing. This article reports from co-produced multimethods research focussed on one form of policing vulnerability within an English police force; the role of a specialist sex worker liaison officer (SWLO). Findings highlight that an enhanced focus on vulnerability through the role was highly valued by sex workers; building trust and improving investigations of crimes against sex workers. However, social control was the defining parameter for the intervention, with different implications across the diversity of the sex industry. Drawing on Gilson’s (2021) intersectional feminist philosophy work, we situate findings within critical attention to policing vulnerability, arguing the embedding of vulnerability within governance apparatus orientated to social control must be met with vigilance if it is to be progressive rather than reactionary.

THE IMPORTANCE OF PUBLIC RELATIONS IN PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION AND ITS SITUATION IN GEORGIA

In the contemporary landscape, the multifaceted development of a nation across economic, social, political, scientific, technological, and cultural spheres hinges significantly upon a robust understanding and utilization of information communication processes within governmental frameworks. Central to the efficacy of public administration is the orchestration of public relations initiatives within governmental bodies, leveraging them as conduits for information dissemination and feedback mechanisms. The absence of a timely and structured information dissemination and feedback system within government apparatuses engenders uncertainty and misapprehension regarding anticipated outcomes and societal trajectories. This lacuna precipitates a disengagement of citizens from governmental institutions and fosters skepticism toward their formulated agendas. Such circumstances precipitate a crisis in public relations, wherein the dearth of information catalyzes public apprehension surrounding purported issues, thereby inflating their significance beyond reality and engendering a climate of sustained discourse, ultimately culminating in adverse public sentiment. This phenomenon represents a dynamic and irreversible progression, fertile ground for the escalation of genuine crises. In such exigencies, governmental entities are compelled to proactively saturate the informational landscape with content pertinent to public interest, undertake diligent analysis of public sentiment, steward reputation management efforts, ensure transparency and accessibility of information, and facilitate bidirectional communication channels. Keywords: public relations, democratic governance, PR effectiveness, public administration.
