The Children and Young People’s Voices research project has been collecting the testimonies from 600 children and young people aged between nine and 22 since April this year.
This includes the views of young people disproportionately impacted by the health crisis, including those with special educational needs and disabilities.
Their stories will now be presented to the UK Covid 19 Inquiry as part of its eighth investigation, which will focus on the pandemic’s impact on children and young people.
A full report of their stories will be published ahead of these hearings in autumn 2025.
Isolation, losing friendships, loss of learning and the impact of the pandemic on their home life are among issues to arise in the children's accounts.
