Survey on the COVID response and child rights

27 August, 2021

With this mail I would like to invite you to participate in a survey addressing how the COVID pandemic has, in your opinion, affected child rights and health in your country or in the setting where you work.

In short, in this survey, the International Society for Social Paediatrics and Child Health (ISSOP) and the International Network for Research in Inequalities in Child Health (INRICH) want to hear your ideas, observations and concerns about child rights and child health in your nation during the pandemic. Please tell us about the child rights and child health issues you know about from your work. Include any changes in the pandemic response that have affected child rights and health.

Deadline for participation is 22 September 2021.
