Despite being least affected by the virus itself, children and
young people bore the brunt of Covid-19 pandemic restrictions. When
schools were closed, playgrounds taped up and play outlawed,
children's lives were closed down. The catastrophic impact on
children and young people's education, mental health, wellbeing,
and life chances is becoming ever clearer, with the most
disadvantaged suffering disproportionately. In May 2020 Liz Cole
and Molly Kingsley founded UsForThem to advocate - in an often
hostile climate - for children to be prioritised during the
pandemic response. Having heard from thousands of families, and
having often clashed with policymakers, they have a unique
perspective on how the state's response to the pandemic has
affected our children. Here they document their shocking findings:
how completely children's health and welfare were sacrificed for
that of adults; how policymakers appeared to disregard the harms
they were causing; and how adults charged with protecting the young
stood by and watched as children visibly struggled or slipped out
of sight altogether. This dereliction of duty should haunt us for
decades to come. With exclusive testimony from academics,
politicians, scientists, educators, and parents, as well as former
Children's Commissioners, the book exposes the problems at the
heart of policymaking which led to the systemic and ongoing
betrayal of children. From public health to politics, and from
media discourse to safeguarding, the authors show how children were
too often used as the means to further adult interests. Ahead of
the public inquiry, the authors call for an honest appraisal of
what went wrong, and commitment from stakeholders to reimagine -
not just recover - childhood.
