Latest survey results of the clinically extremely vulnerable - #shielding group - out now, with a mental health focus:

Those who have in the past or are currently receiving treatment for their mental health are more likely to report their mental health worsening since lockdown

The survey shows that females who are #shielding and those aged 50-59 are more likely to report a worsening of their mental health. Followed by 20-49 year olds

We find females more likely to report worsening mental health at every age compared with males

We also find that if a CEV's underlying health condition (the trigger for #shielding) has got worse, then they are more likely report a worsening of mental health.

We also find that if CEV's can no longer access all or some of their care, again mental health impact is worse
