British Red Cross Covid-19 Vulnerability Index

To help focus help on the most vulnerable people whose needs aren’t being met, we are developing a COVID-19 Vulnerability Index.

The Index consist of the following:

• Clinical vulnerability
• Other health/wellbeing needs
• Economic/financial vulnerability
• Social vulnerability (including physical/geographical isolation)

This document describes what’s currently available in the index and what we’re considering adding in the future.
