This briefing looks at how the coronavirus pandemic has disrupted the life of every child and their family in the country.
Families with children have been among the hardest hit, with job losses and increased costs of living from children being off school causing many families to struggle financially.
The crisis has made life much harder for low-income households, those already living in insecure housing and at risk of homelessness, and those with precarious immigration status.
This briefing suggests short and long term recommendations to address this issue.
