‘Return to status quo’ not good enough after vaccination, says Children's Ombudsman

Children's ombudsman Dr Niall Muldoon says the Government 'must take swift and meaningful action to protect our most vulnerable children'. He is addressing the Children's Future campaign today. 

Children’s Ombudsman, Dr Niall Muldoon, has said a “return to status quo” once Covid vaccines are rolled out would be abandoning a huge cohort of vulnerable children.

Dr Muldoon says it is the responsibility of the Government to protect the most vulnerable children who have been “cast adrift” from education, and who deserve to reach their full potential.
