Abstract
This micro briefing introduces evidence concerning the adverse impacts of COVID-19 on children and young people in Scotland. In consolidating this evidence, we draw upon Scottish and comparable UK data. The evidence reviewed makes clear the impacts of rising poverty and food insecurity, digital exclusion, and disruption to public services on the wellbeing of children and young people. Specifically, the briefing presents a focus on impacts to physical health, mental health, welfare and education.
