Didn ’ t do virtual classes but have outside with PP and even with people I ’ m comfortable with virtually I am a lot quieter than I would be in person – worried that I ’ m going to interrupt people as you can ’ t see / tell when they want to speak . As an autistic young person I cannot keep up with people ’ s body language anyway and on zoom , I don ’ t know if I should speak – also don ’ t want to show people my bedroom and feel pressure to put camera on .
With SUN we do a lot of online resources & change our workshops virtually – what advice could you give to deliver this the most effective way and the support we try & give ? Variety of opportunity not just emailing one week and virtual classes the next it was a variety of different teaching methods to adapt to educational needs of the groups . Life skills building up teamwork , confidence skills and presentation ...
... skills that got lost in the virtual lockdown space and thinking about how you can pull that back into
teaching practice .

There was a lot of upset and anger about some teachers being really lazy and YP taking on the brunt of lockdown - not getting the same support which has caused a bit of a rift / lack of trust .
Which of the following negatively impacted young people ’ s future choices THE MOST during lockdown ? Anxiety and stress ( 71 %). Sadness / depression / low mood ( 63 %). Change of structure and routine ( learning at school and now at home ) ( 58 %). Limited / no teaching time ( 55 %). Learning from home ( 54 %).
Comments on the above : Not surprised , as it ’ s added to mental health issues , being stuck at home with families etc . Having to adapt without having teachers around . No guidance , you a lot of time to think as you can ’ t go anywhere .
