Charities and experts will blast the Government for the 'preventable' harm caused to children during lockdown in a damning report to an inquiry today.
Social distancing and the closure of schools and playgrounds wreaked 'long-lasting and era-defining' effects on young people's mental health, according to the Children's Rights Organisations alliance.
The group was set up to give evidence to the Covid Inquiry and includes charities Save the Children, Just for Kids Law and the Children's Rights Alliance of England, The Telegraph reports.
