About UsforThem

We are a volunteer organisation of people who care about children.

We campaign for their needs to be prioritised in response to decisions on Coronavirus, and beyond. We speak for children because we believe that a society which put children front and centre would be better, brighter and fairer. We speak for children because often children cannot speak for themselves.

We are independent, apolitical and will consider partnerships with anyone who has the best interests of children at heart.

Our Current Campaign #NOMASKSINCLASS

We are calling on Government to either publish the new evidence which shows this intervention is necessary and has been properly evaluated for potential harms, or to reverse it.

Our First Campaign #REOPENSCHOOLS

We launched in May 2020 in response to the first wave of closures of schools across the UK, a decision which has had a devastating impact on children. Our first campaign was successful – schools are now fully open to all pupils once again.

Our Future Campaigns

Our response to the pandemic has highlighted structural, long term weaknesses in the rights and protections afforded to children in policy making and law. We believe that children – our country’s greatest asset – should be placed front and centre in all decisions impacting them.

The recommendation for children to wear masks in lessons does not seem to be based on any scientific evidence, fails to recognise the new realities of us having offered the vaccine to the most vulnerable groups, appears to have been introduced without evaluation of potential harms, and significantly undermines the “national priority” of ensuring British schoolchildren have the chance to recover from extended educational disruption.
