This overview of evidence considers empirical studies of the mental health and wellbeing impacts of lockdown during both the COVID-19 pandemic and during similar health-related disasters in the past. We consider the empirical evidence of impacts across three areas:

  1. Direct impacts on children and young people’s mental health and wellbeing
  2. Impacts within the family context
  3. Impacts within the context of education
