-The impact of the pandemic will be felt the most by young people from more disadvantaged backgrounds and those with special educational needs.

Reports such as this provide a valuable resource for Govt as we work to address the impacts of the crisis. It points to where we need to target responses & resources and informs our approach to how we can support children and young people through these unprecedented difficulties.
