This Youth Sport Trust report summarises key evidence relating to the impact of Covid-19 on children and young people. With an ever-changing landscape, limited ability to hear directly from children and with a narrow window for data capture, this document is “of the moment”, condensing the latest quantitative evidence from a range of external sources. Additionally, it references qualitative and low-sample research, aiming to build a rounded picture. The paper covers the following themes:
• Young people’s mental health & concerns
• Physical activity during lockdown
• The challenges of home learning
• What’s helped during lockdown
• Returning to school
• Positives from the COVID experience
• Potential future trends
