COVID EFFECTS ON YOUNG PEOPLE

During the COVID-19 pandemic, four youth organisations - The Activity Den, Oxhill Youth Club, Stanley Young People’s Centre and Stars Youth and Community worked in partnership to find out how local children and young people fared during the pandemic. Over 4 weeks from December 2020 to early January 2021 under the banner of the Stanley Area Youth Consortium, they promoted a questionnaire to 7-18 year olds from across the Stanley area. 


In total, 231 children and young people completed the survey:


  • 87 completed the 7-11 age group survey
  • 144 completed the 12-18 age group survey


Our survey showed that children and young people's mental and physical health had been badly affected by the pandemic, lack of social contact and increasing levels of anxiety. The results of the survey helped to shape SAYC’s strategy and approach, increasing the number of free mental and physical health 1:1 and group support activities available, training more youth workers and offering more guidance to children and young people.
