answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/02/2022 answer text <p>The wellbeing of children and young people is a priority for this government and is central to achieving its aims. The department uses several different courses of information to support its understanding of children and young people’s wellbeing, including the annual State of the Nation: children and young people’s wellbeing report. The report brings together publicly available data, including data on wellbeing collected regularly by the Office of National Statistics.</p><p>The latest State of the Nation report was published on 8 February 2022. Its findings highlight early signs that suggest children’s and young people’s wellbeing is gradually improving. The report also underlines the link between regular school attendance and positive welfare, emphasising the positive impact of face-to-face learning.</p><p>The department continues to monitor the emerging evidence on the experiences of children and young people during the COVID-19 outbreak to ensure the short-term and long-term measures established by the government are informed by the most up-to-date evidence. Such evidence includes the regular surveillance reports on the impacts of the outbreak, including children and young people, conducted by Public Health England (PHE). PHE’s report on population mental health and wellbeing in England during the COVID-19 outbreak was most recently updated on 18 November 2021, and is available at: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/covid-19-mental-health-and-wellbeing-surveillance-report" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/covid-19-mental-health-and-wellbeing-surveillance-report</a>.</p> answering member constituency Colchester answering member printed Will Quince question first answered 16/02/2022 14:02:16 answering member 4423 label Biography information for Will Quince
