COVID-19 Early years resilience and impact survey (CEYRIS)

Public Health Scotland developed a survey to find out how children in Scotland aged 2–7 years have been affected by COVID-19. The survey covered the following themes: key behaviours; children’s play and learning, use of outdoor spaces and social interactions; and the experience of parents and carers during COVID-19 in Scotland.

The final report from the first round of the COVID-19 early year’s resilience and impact survey (CEYRIS) shows that the pandemic and its associated restrictions had a negative impact on most young families in Scotland, particularly those who were already experiencing challenging circumstances due to income, family composition or family health.
