“…While Indigenous peoples have adapted ways of maintaining interconnectedness during the pandemic, these efforts and the necessary related support are scarce in some communities, placing an unjust burden on young Indigenous peoples' wellbeing. Community-centred COVID-19 pandemic responses are considered important for the well-being of Indigenous young people within Canada as well as those in some resource-limited countries (Campbell et al, 2021).…”

“…However, the current pandemic has highlighted how far we are from achieving this foundational step and from resolving the ongoing injustices for Indigenous peoples and Indigenous young people in particular. It is important to note that concepts of justice differ dramatically across cultures, communities and societies, and that this has a direct impact on the ways harms are perceived, conceptualized and addressed (Campbell et al, 2021). Therefore, the guiding value of Indigenous-informed restorative justice may be limited in its transferability to Indigenous contexts outside of Canada.…”

In response to new and exacerbated challenges imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic, Indigenous children and youth in Canada have developed innovative and holistic solutions to amplify their voices, continue cultural engagement and combat social isolation for themselves and their communities as a whole. In this analysis, we have selected three Indigenous philosophical tenets as an ethical orientation for discussion of how the COVID-19 pandemic is impacting the well-being of Indigenous young people. The guiding values of interconnected relationships, holism and Indigenous-informed restorative justice help us interpret existing pandemic-specific literature and identify, define and prioritize considerations of child and youth well-being from an Indigenous-centred worldview. This analysis can (a) help inform future pandemic measures affecting Indigenous young people and (b) foster similar considerations for Indigenous communities in other regions of the world.

“…The distinctive impact of this pandemic on children is vast, and the risks posed to children's rights to survival and development, as well as to their rights to special protection, education, health, and food, have been greatly compounded by COVID-19, and in many cases, by governmental priorities and responses [6][7][8]. Children's rights to participate in decisions that impact them have also likely been compromised [9,10].…”

Background The advent of COVID-19 abruptly thrust the health and safety of children and families into greater risk around the world. As regional and local governments, nongovernmental organizations, communities, families, and children grapple with the immediate public health impact of COVID-19, the rights and well-being of children, especially those who are already marginalized, have been overlooked. Those working with children have likely encountered unprecedented challenges and responded in innovative ways in efforts to address the needs and rights of all children. Objective This paper presents a protocol for a large-scale, multinational study using a new smartphone app to capture the real-time experiences and perspectives of practitioners and policymakers supporting children and families during the COVID-19 pandemic around the globe in relation to a children’s human rights 4P framework of protection, provision, prevention, and participation. Methods This protocol describes a mixed methods survey utilizing a custom-built iOS and Android smartphone app called the COVID 4P Log for Children’s Wellbeing, which was developed in close consultation with 17 international key partner organizations. Practitioners and policymakers working with and for children’s well-being across 29 countries and 5 continents were invited to download the app and respond to questions over the course of 8 weeks. The anticipated large amount of qualitative and quantitative response data will be analyzed using content analysis, descriptive statistics, and word frequencies. Results Formal data collection took place from October 2020 until March 2021. Data analysis was completed in July 2021. Conclusions The findings will directly inform the understanding of the ways in which COVID-19 has impacted practitioners’, managers’, and policymakers’ efforts to support children’s well-being in their practices, services, and policies, respectively. Innovative and ambitious in its scope and use of smartphone technology, this project also aims to inform and inspire future multinational research using app-based methodologies—the demand for which is likely to continue to dramatically rise in the COVID-19 era. Mitigating the risks of longitudinal remote data collection will help maximize the acceptability of the app, respondents’ sustained engagement, and data quality.
