Barnado's: 'Mental health and Covid-19: in our own words'

This publication, from Barnado’s, presents findings from a survey of children and young people to identify their experiences of lockdown and what they will need to support their mental health and wellbeing coming out of the coronavirus crisis.

It also identifies the key theme that children and young people felt they were being ignored by decision makers during the pandemic. Recommendations to government include involving children and young people in 'recovery planning' and giving them a role in national decision making on the policies that affect their lives.
