Using the COVID-19 School Infection Survey to measure the impact of the pandemic on children
The COVID-19 Schools Infection Survey (SIS) was launched at the start of the 2020-21 academic year, aiming to gain an insight into how the pandemic has affected children’s lives and their education. The first findings from this important study, jointly led by The Office for National Statistics (ONS), London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (LSHTM), and UK Health Security Agency, have now been published. Fiona Dawe, Deputy Director of the SIS at the ONS, explains the vital role this data plays helping to learn more about the challenges of the pandemic for children.
