Pillar 2 Report: What do children, young people and families say about needs, and impact of COVID-19?

This Report summarises quantitative analyses of Department of Education population and sample data (New South Wales, Tasmania), 39 semi-structured interviews with children, young people and their families in New South Wales, Tasmania, and Queensland (Cohort 1=7, Cohort 2=22, Cohort 3=10), and semi-structured interviews (n=21) and an online survey (n=39) from stakeholders representing non-government organisations providing education and support services for children and young people experiencing disadvantage across Australia. A videoconference-based academic roundtable was held with Australia-based experts in the fields of education and disadvantage. Data collection and analysis were completed between September and November 2020.
