As the coronavirus pandemic in the UK approaches its sixth month, we’re taking a look at the long-term impact of lockdown and subsequent school closures on our nation’s children and young people.

For this episode, host Vivienne Parry is joined by the IOE's Dr Amelia Roberts, GOSH UCL Institute of Child Health's Dr Lee Hudson, and IOE alumna, psychology teacher and PhD student Shafina Vohra to discuss the effects of COVID-19 on young people, explore why and how children are not all impacted equally, and learn more about how they’re coping.
