❌What happened was wrong.❌

Participating in the @ukcovid-19inquiry.bsky.social has meant revisiting experiences that remain painful.

With the M8 report on children & young people expected in 2027, every bone in my body wants its recommendations to matter.

👀 this 🎥 again, 6 yrs on, brings back so much.

Children living with #LongCovid were too often overlooked & disbelieved. The consequences are still felt today, new infections continue.

We cannot give back lost childhood years, but we can learn, act & do better.

#LongCovidKids #ForEveryChildhood

Kids housebound or bedbound with Long COVID created superheroes inspired by their experiences with chronic illness and disability. Their heroes find strength in resting, asking for help and compassion. The characters now feature in a 72-page full-colour comic, Long Covid Superheroes.

The current #COVID strain IS MORE transmissible.

Please take steps to reduce risk of infection and transmission.
Avoiding COVID is the only way to reduce risk of #LongCovid - which can be a result of any infection, of any level of severity.

It feels very special to have the work we do at LCK recognised in this way.
What started in 2020 with families coming together to make sure children
& young people with LC were seen & heard has become something I could never have imagined at the time.
