Covid-19 Inquiry: Have Your Voice Heard

The Covid-19 pandemic has profoundly impacted lives across the UK, and its effects are still felt today. Over the last four years, Youth Employment UK’s annual Youth Voice Census has shed light on how young people, in particular, have been affected—especially regarding mental health and anxiety.

Youth Employment UK is committed to amplifying young voices and proudly supports the “UK Covid-19 Inquiry: Every Story Matters.” This initiative invites everyone to share their personal experiences of the pandemic and its effects on their lives and those around them. Your story can help uncover lessons that may protect and support future generations.

The inquiry is currently focusing on the experiences of young people, and if you’re aged 18 or over, we encourage you to share your story.

Learn more about the inquiry and contribute your story.

Your voice can shape important recommendations for the future!
