Covid-19 and children's well-being
Covid-19 and children's well-being
Children and young people’s health may have been less directly affected by Covid-19 than that of adults, but the indirect consequences of the pandemic are wide-ranging and long-lasting. School closures, online learning, reduced time with friends, peers and teachers, together with delayed access to health care have had a dramatic effect on children and their families. These constraints have immediate, medium and long-term implications for children’s economic wellbeing, education and mental health. These must be understood completely if society is to prevent further harm, now and in the future. This policy briefing provides an overview of the key findings of the Interdisciplinary Child Well-Being Network (ICWBN) online workshop, the programme and recordings of which are available at https://icwbn.wp.st-andrews.ac.uk/icwbn-workshop

Abstract
Children and young people’s health may have been less directly affected by Covid-19 than that of adults, but the indirect consequences of the pandemic are wide-ranging and long-lasting. School closures, online learning, reduced time with friends, peers and teachers, together with delayed access to health care have had a dramatic effect on children and their families. These constraints have immediate, medium and long-term implications for children’s economic wellbeing, education and mental health. These must be understood completely if society is to prevent further harm, now and in the future. This policy briefing provides an overview of the key findings of the Interdisciplinary Child Well-Being Network (ICWBN) online workshop, the programme and recordings of which are available at https://icwbn.wp.st-andrews.ac.uk/icwbn-workshop
