Researchers of the Month: Dr Hope Christie and Dr Lucy Hiscox Discuss the Impact of the Pandemic on Parents

Our researchers of the month, Dr Hope Christie and Dr Lucy
Hiscox, talk to Dr Weston about their recent paper, which
examines the impact that lockdowns had on parents. This 'rapid
review' of 32 other studies was commissioned by SAGE and the
Department for Education and will inform government policy. They
discuss the various harms experienced by parents and
interventions that might be able to mitigate the negative
effects, consider the role of schools in identifying and helping
children at risk of domestic violence and explore the link
between parental mental health and that of children.
