DESCRIPTION:Covid-19 was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organizat
 ion on the 11th of March 2020. Whilst children and young people are at low
 er risk of severe illness and death\, they have arguably been amongst thos
 e most affected and least supported by the Covid-19 societal response. In 
 this talk\, I will draw on the available evidence to discuss what is known
  about the impacts of the pandemic on the mental health of children and yo
 ung people\, including the acute and chronic effects of Covid-19 illness\,
  the impact on at-risk groups\, and access to mental health services and e
 ducation during the pandemic\n\nTamsin Ford is a Professor of Child and Ad
