The government must apologize to children for the destructive errors and the political mistakes it committed during the epidemic, as former Pedish Commissioner in England said in achieving Covid-19.
Ann Longfield submitted evidence to the general investigation session on Thursday, that the “perishing link” of the capabilities between the ministers means that the government has failed to do more to help children. She said that the prolonged closure and the closure of schools were responsible for the explosion in mental health, luxury and behavior the difficulties that children and youth are still suffering.
Lady Longfield, who was the pediatrician at the height of the epidemic, said the government should issue an official apology for its “avoidance mistakes” for children who have been exposed to their lives by Kovid and its subsequent effects.
“Children and young people who have suffered from the roaming epidemic – some of them will now be adults and some just start at school – they owe an official apology from the Prime Minister in Parliament as soon as the investigation published its final report,” said Longfield.
“The apology will give the government an opportunity to formally recognize the mistakes that can be avoided and the damages that occurred to many well -being of children, education, health, development and safety, after decisions taken by the government at the time in 2020 and 2021.
“It will be an opportunity to say sorry, and that promise that the lessons will really learn, if there is another pandemic or a national emergency in the future.”

Longfield suggested that the restrictions imposed on visits and the increasing use of interviews online allowed some families to evade their living conditions or hide them.
“Families, if they want, can quickly see how they can perform the interview in a very high and clean room, and the rest of the house may not be as it is,” said Longfield.
Low requirements were that social workers were unable to speak with vulnerable children without their parents, or to talk to other family members who might have concerns.
Longfield said that she was frustrated because the government failed to use any initial thinking throughout schools and social work that other parts of the government, such as NHS, were used to solve problems.
“There was no kind of moment of the nightingale obtained by hospitals, in schools. It was possible to do different things about keeping schools open but they were not.
Likewise with social welfare, [the government] I moved directly to a result about the responsibilities of mitigating. “
