COVID-19 resources

COVID-19 related resources by ECPC member organizations and other national and internation agencies.

Introduction 

This resource database is provided by the ECPC. Research and scholarly output included here has been selected and deposited based on its key relevance to the effects of COVID-19 on the lives of young children and the environments in which they live. A number of national and international agencies have developed a range of on-line guides and resources to support children and youth, parents and caregivers, employers, practioners and policy makers during these times of uncertainty. There is a need for a coordinated action to ensure that these resources are made available in fragile environments. Additional key documentation will be added as it becomes available.
