Here is some useful information that parents may wish to share with their children.

The Children’s Commissioner has developed a children’s guide to Coronavirus which supports children and young people in understanding what it is, how they can protect themselves and their families, how to deal with worries and hints and resources to pass the time whilst in lockdown.

The Children’s Commissioner says “All these changes might make you feel scared or worried. That’s OK. It’s totally normal to feel like this”. The Children’s Guide can be accessed via the link.

Public Health England have also produced some useful information for adults in the form of an easy read guide to looking after yourself during the pandemic. This can be accessed via the link.
