The Children’s Trust has joined more than 150 signatories in a statement to the Prime Minister calling on him to announce that children will join health and the economy as the three pillars of the government’s coronavirus response.
The statement calls on Government to embrace a new vision of childhood and set out their solutions to the pressing issues facing children and young people, including child poverty, mental health, and school closures.
It also asks for a commitment to protect children facing additional challenges, like those with disabilities, asylum seekers, abuse victims and those from minority communities.
