It has been five years since it was announced that the UK was to go into a national lockdown due to the Coronavirus pandemic sweeping the globe. We can all remember the wide-spread effects rippling through most parts of our society, but what impact did lockdown have for our children and young people? In this special documentary, young people from across the UK, most of whom are currently in Year 11, share their memories of that remarkable time: from their Year 6 SATs examinations being cancelled, to saying goodbye to their primary school friends, which for some, was the final time. They also share how the lockdowns have impacted them long term: from losing social skills, finding new creative hobbies and gaining perspective about things in life that are most important.
