After Wales went into lockdown in March 2020 we worked hard to listen to children and young people’s experiences of the pandemic.
And we’ve made sure that the Welsh Government and other public bodies know what children and young people have been saying.
Here you’ll find some of the work we’ve done.
In January we asked children and young people in Wales to share their views and experiences of the latest Coronavirus lockdown through a survey. Almost 20,000 took part aged between 3-18.
We listened to the views and experiences of over 23,000 children and young people through the Coronavirus and Me survey. This is what they said.
1,496 children and young people who did our Coronavirus and Me survey were from a Black, Asian or Minority Ethnic (BAME) background. Here are some of their experiences.
4,417 young people aged 15-18 did our Coronavirus and Me survey. These are some of their experiences.
These are the views of disabled children who did the Coronavirus and Me survey.
Workshops to help professionals working with children and young people to share and discuss the findings of our Coronavirus and Me survey, and to help children and young people to reflect on their own experiences.
232 children under 7 years old drew pictures about their experiences of living through the pandemic. Click to watch the video and download a workshop to discuss the findings.
This report is about what we did between March and September 2020 to help children and young people in Wales. It's also about how children and young people have been helped by others like the Welsh Government, and if they could have done more.
We spoke to children and young people about their experiences of learning from home during the 'fire-break' lockdown in October and November 2020.
This report details our work on protecting children's rights in Wales between September 2020 and September 2021.
