The Children and Young People Voices project, announced in January, is set to collect data from several hundred nine- to 22-year-olds. The project is a collaboration between the UK Covid-19 Inquiry and Verian.

Children from a range of ethnicities, genders, socio-economic backgrounds, various geographical regions and those identifying as LGBTQ+ if aged 18 and over will be involved to gain a comprehensive view of what lessons must be learned from the pandemic.

Children with disabilities, special educational needs, living with post-viral covid conditions, caregivers and members of clinically vulnerable families will be involved, alongside children of essential workers.

Young people who lived in care settings, detention settings and secure accommodation, or accessed social service mental health services, the justice system or sought asylum will also be considered.
