Department Name: Institute of Child Health
Abstract
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has and will have huge direct health and economic implications as highlighted by the media, but there are and likely will be also a myriad of significant indirect health, social, and educational consequences for children and families. These impacts will likely be most keenly felt on the most vulnerable of CYP - such as those experiencing homelessness while living in temporary or insecure accommodation. Specifically, homeless children under age five (under5s) are not only at greater risk of exposure and transmission of COVID due to overcrowding in substandard housing, but also immediate and long-term impacts on growth, optimal health, and brain development. The COVID-19 pandemic could result in a number of further waves of increased infection incidence and last for 18 months or longer. The longevity and periodicity of the pandemic will therefore not have only short-term impacts but long-term for some children extending across most of their infant life with some children even being born into this pandemic. The Children's Commissioner suggested that there could be more than 210,000 homeless children in temporary accommodation or 'sofa surfing,' and approximately 585,000 who either are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless in England alone.
The purpose of this study is to determine the barriers attributed to the COVID-19 pandemic and our associated health services and societal response, experienced by parents of under5s living in temporary accommodation nationally for themselves and their children. First, we will explore perceptions around access to health care services, such as seeking medical review in response to common childhood assessments (e.g. fever, diarrhoea, respiratory symptoms, accidents). Second, we will explore parent/carer perceived ability to support their child in achieving their optimal health outcomes (e.g. nutrition, vaccination uptake, overall wellbeing, growth, reaching full developmental milestones). We will also co-develop an information toolkit with the parents of this vulnerable population and front line (health and social care) workers to address their short-term and long-term needs once the lockdown period ends and there is an effort to return to "normalcy" while at the same time, there is a need to learn from these current experiences in preparation for a possible Winter resurgence of COVID-19, for any future epidemics or pandemics but also to rapidly address the health challenges that these children have encountered during this pandemic.

| Title | SoundVoice voice installation 'FLY/WORK/GROW' |
| Description | Sound Voice and the CHAMPIONS Project (UCL and DMU) are working in partnership to produce an immersive sound installation which enables audiences and researchers to better understand the impact of temporary accommodation on the health and wellbeing of children and families in the UK. FLY/WORK/GROW uses cutting edge spatial audio design and platforms unheard sung and spoken narratives of children and parents affected by homelessness. It focuses particularly on the invisible experiences and needs of the children. Audiences are invited to reflect on the importance of home and policymakers will hear real-life, under-represented voices for the first time as an immersive experience. Our digital knowledge exchange platform and public engagement activities will produce tailored public health messages, resulting in briefings for academia, housing and engineering, charity and health and social care professionals. This work will raise the profile of families affected by homelessness and temporary accommodation and highlight the need to transform thinking and practice regarding what is needed to support children and families. This will result in innovative knowledge exchange and policy impact across further sectors. |

| Description | Our 4 work packages were completed in September 2022. 1. Scoping Review: We examined 10 years of public health project literature in low-and-middle-income-countries to identify effective strategies for reaching marginalised and excluded children under 5, and improving their health programmes use and access. Findings: a) Financial support interventions reduce health 'shocks' in ultra-poor settings; increase immunisation coverage and health-seeking for preventive and curative childcare. b) Financial support interventions have wider impact compared to non-financial interventions. c) Conditional cash transfers effective more frequently, depend on local health infrastructure and quality. d) Community-based insurance increases immunisation coverage and visit numbers; performs better combined with performance-based financing. e) Mobile health teams ensuring immunisation coverage in difficult settings, especially during Polio Endgame. f) Mobile technology reminder systems improve treatment-seeking and immunisation coverage. g) Community-based primary care increases service access for poorest homeless and refugee populations. h) Engagement of communities resulted in better quality health services and improved coverage and uptake. 2. Needs Analysis: We conducted a survey and interviews with UK children under 5 and their families experiencing homelessness and living in temporary accommodation (TA) to explore the effect of COVID-19 on health needs. We invited people to submit photographs and stories to our website. Use of participant-generated art opened up new research resources for our team. During our data-gathering, new research questions opened up regarding older children/teens and peer relationships. We developed our unique SHE Framework outlining a child's basic right to be Safe (safe & suitable housing), Healthy (accessing healthy lifestyle & essential health services), and Educated (accessible education & the means/space to pursue one). Findings: a) Prolonged lockdowns, social isolation, poor environments and lack of pandemic support exacerbated existing, and introduced new, physical and mental health, developmental and behavioural issues for children under 5. b) Service provision broke down during pandemic for most vulnerable families (with young children living in TA). c) Effective solutions require integration of child-centred public services. 3. Feasibility Study: We co-developed strategies to better understand families' needs and explored strategic interventions alongside government and wider stakeholders supporting families living in TA. Recommendations: a) Clear mandatory child-centred TA minimum standards framework, with monitoring regarding necessities provision, environmental health risks, time in unsuitable accommodation and moves minimisation. b) Community service navigation advisors and materials to aid and direct families to support. c) Secure data-sharing methods to create notification systems alerting relevant sectors when family is rehoused. d) Change homelessness narrative and stigma. e) Local areas to ensure adequate provision of doctors, health visitors and midwifes for timely assessment and support. 4. Knowledge Exchange: We shared our work with policymakers, other stakeholders and families via our interactive website www.championsproject.co.uk, as well as presentations at national and international events. Additional work funded by other organisations beyond the work packages was completed, despite pandemic disruption. Regarding new research collaborations, projects to ensure long-term impact include working with De Montfort University and Soundvoice to create voice installations and an international project on the impact of TA on play and home environments with Reach Alliance. |

| Description | We are pleased that CHAMPIONS continues to work in partnership with various non-academic economic and social NGO partners including EKAM UK, Public Health Arts & US, Graffwerk, Soundvoice, The Children's Society, Leicester City in the Community, and others. Our research team is grateful to be working alongside families and professionals from non-academic organisations working with them to co-develop recommendations for future support and best practices in order to support families' recovery after the pandemic and enable professionals to prepare for future health crises. One particular impact area we are proud of has been our collaboration with international artists and arts-focused organisations such as Public Health Arts & US, Graffwerk and Soundvoice. We have worked with them to develop artistic tools such as ceramics, voice installations, films, animations and photography, among others, in order to give a voice to children and families affected by homelessness in a more impactful and prominent way as part of our advocacy and public awareness-raising project activities. In addition, child and adolescent participants have reported that using such tools feels more inclusive and comfortable for them, especially when they have been asked to share difficult experiences and memories faced as a result of being homeless or living in temporary accommodation. It is our hope that our use of this method will inspire others in academia, as well as policy-makers and third-sector representatives, to continue to use such cross-disciplinary tools to ensure greater impact when tackling homelessness and other critical social issues on the ground and working directly with families and children. Our 4 project work packages (Scoping Review, Needs Analysis, Feasibility Study and Knowledge Exchange) were completed in September 2022. Multiple narrative impact results have emerged as part of the Knowledge Exchange package so far. Over the last year, we have been sharing the results of our work with NGOs, policy makers and artists via our interactive website at https://www.championsproject.co.uk, which includes sections on our study and partners, study news and dissemination nationally and internationally, outputs from our work with our lived experiences participant panel and a public health messaging-tailored section of the website which includes public service worker stories in addition to participant artwork. We combined evidence-gathering with our advocacy work to give a voice to children and families affected by homelessness in the form of organising events for the purpose of data collection and public engagement and awareness-raising. This included the organisation of workshops in September 2022 with children to create drawings for a British Science Festival exhibition attended by thousands, hosting mobile vans displaying key findings in visual formats and working with street artists and NGO Graffwerk to create a wall mural at De Montfort University campus. In addition, we created a policy brief and a song with Soundvoice production company featuring snippets from interviews with families and practitioners working with them as part of our awareness-raising campaign. Additional future projects to ensure long-term impact include a planned collaboration with De Montfort University and a theatre artist to create monologues for creative animations. |
