Coronavirus, children and you
For children
There have been big changes in our lives because of coronavirus, so we’ve created a children’s guide to coronavirus to help explain the situation.
The guide aims to answer children’s questions about coronavirus, tell children how to stay safe and protect other people and how to help them make the best of their time at home.
Childhood in the time of Covid
Six months have passed since the Covid-19 pandemic took hold in this country and we entered an unprecedented lockdown. During this time, I have made it my Office’s mission to highlight the risks to children caused by the pandemic and the measures to contain it, particularly the most vulnerable, and push for their interests to be a top priority.
This report aims to set out, in one place, the key ways in which children’s lives have been impacted as a result of the Covid-19 crisis.
What we're doing
We’re investigating and publishing reports on a range of issues affecting children during the outbreak.
Find highlights below, or view all of our reports relating to children and coronavirus.
Listening to children during the crisis
We are speaking with children to find out how the national lockdown and life during Covid-19 is affecting them. How do they feel being locked up at home for weeks on end, away from friends? What do they miss most? Is there anything about the lockdown they like?
