Congratulations to @andyburnham.bsky.social on becoming Prime Minister. We hope the lessons of COVID-19 help shape stronger systems for children and young people—through better healthcare, joined-up education and future preparedness. Childhood doesn't wait. #ChildHealth #PandemicPreparedness

Many of the principles reflected here are ones LCK has consistently advocated for. We'll continue working alongside children, young people, families, professionals, researchers and policymakers to help ensure every child has the opportunity to learn, participate and thrive. 🧡 #SchoolInclusion

This guidance focuses on allergy safety. We now look forward to the wider medical conditions guidance this autumn & hope it reflects the voices, experiences and needs of children and young people living with Long Covid & overlapping illnesses. #MedicalNeeds #SchoolInclusion #LongCovid #ChildHealth

Inclusion matters. The guidance strengthens expectations around participation, reasonable adjustments and Individual Healthcare Plans, helping children with medical conditions access education alongside their peers. #MedicalNeeds #SchoolInclusion #LongCovid #ChildHealth

The guidance reinforces that children should not be disadvantaged because of a medical condition. Health should never become a barrier to belonging. #MedicalNeeds #SchoolInclusion #LongCovid #ChildHealth

The updated guidance recognises the importance of clean indoor air, including good ventilation, air quality monitoring and HEPA filtration. Healthy learning environments benefit everyone. #MedicalNeeds #SchoolInclusion #LongCovid #ChildHealth

These changes reflect years of work by families, clinicians, researchers, charities, education professionals and policymakers. #MedicalNeeds #SchoolInclusion #LongCovid #ChildHealth

This week the DfE published the first part of its updated statutory guidance on supporting pupils with medical conditions, focusing on allergy safety. There are several encouraging developments 🧵⬇️ #MedicalNeeds #SchoolInclusion #LongCovid #ChildHealth

Children deserve #healthcare, #education & #support that recognises prolonged, fluctuating illness. 🙏 to this family for sharing their story, to @joplatt.bsky.social for supporting these important conversations in Parliament, & to Jessie for helping bring these experiences into the public eye.

As evidence grows and we continue learning from our community, we'll keep developing the resources people need. 🔗https://www.longcovidkids.org/download-resources Please share to help us reach more families and professionals. 💛 #Learning #LongCovid #LongCovidKids #ChildHealth #Community

At Long Covid Kids, we have seen and shared similar experiences reported by many young people. Families regularly share stories of children and young people feeling disbelieved, misunderstood, or dismissed by others.

The survey results supported these personal accounts, suggesting that stigma is not experienced by just a few families but may be a common challenge for many children and young people living with Long Covid. At Long Covid Kids, we have seen similar experiences reported by many of our supporters.
