What about the children?

On today’s episode of the Briefing …what about the children... do we really understand the impact of covid and lockdowns on children under 12. Counselling services such as Kids Helpline say they’re hearing more from children during the pandemic - and primary school teachers are warning that kids might struggle as stages like NSW and Victoria open up and kids head back to the classroom

We’re joined by the National Children’s Commissioner, Anne Hollonds and our very own audio producer, Cuzz whose children are nervous about heading back out into the post-pandemic world. Cuzz's daughter Emily joins us to tell us what’s she’s feeling….and Briefing listener Naomi explains what it’s been like for her seven-year-old.

So, in this briefing... have we left the kids behind...
