Why we must stay hopeful about children’s futures

A series of reports released in the last month reveal that, even before Covid-19, the attainment gap in the UK was widening and our children’s wellbeing suffering. Early reports on the effect of lockdown show that Covid-19 has only deepened these existing problems. However, I believe we must remain hopeful. We can only help this generation of children get back on track by focusing on solutions and staying positive about their futures.
