NICCY is gathering information on issues relating to children and young people during the Covid-19 response, and making this available at: www.niccy.org/covid19 .
This page will be updated regularly as further information becomes available, and we would encourage individuals and agencies to check this page for information.
NICCY can investigate/provide support in relation to complaints made by children and young people or those who care for them, about the actions of relevant authorities, where these breach children’s rights. If the issue in question falls under the remit of another organisation, we will signpost to them.
