Footnotes

2.  Asylum seekers are entitled to £37.75 per week.

3.  This is a numerical score for each country that aims to capture in a single number both the severity and the longevity of the measures that have been imposed. It embraces school/childcare closures, and also restrictions on children's freedom to be out of doors and play.

4.  The team are working with child health researchers from Canada, Brazil, Australia, Sweden and Spain to help examine and compare children's experiences and opinions about coronavirus information (COVID-19) from across the world.

5.  The presenting issues are registered against a service user following any interaction that displays this issue. This is typically during counselling, but could also be during any other interaction, such as comments in a forum. The comparison to last year is based on the proportion of the users that have presented with the particular issue, compared to the proportion last year, during the same time period.

10.  Walking alongside children and other family members is felt to offer a form of 'side-by-side' rather than 'face-to-face' communication that is highly productive, since people accessing services often disclose more when on the move (Ferguson (2016) https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/02650531003741553).
