Children who were born during lockdown and started school in 2024 are often unable to talk properly, a new report has found.
A survey of teachers in England by four leading charities highlighted major concerns about development levels among children who entered reception in September.
In a joint report shared with The Telegraph, four charities – Save the Children, Child Poverty Action Group, the Children’s Rights Alliance for England, and the Centre for Young Lives – polled more than 350 reception teachers about children born during the pandemic.
