'No harm assessment of this measure has ever been carried out', parent group leader Molly Kingsley tells LBC. ianpaynesport | lensiseethrough
The government's recommendation for secondary school pupils to wear face masks is "devastating for children", co-founder of 'children first' group UsforThem Molly Kingsley tells LBC."We know that face masks impede learning."
When pressed on why this was the case by Ian Payne, Ms Kingsley said: "What is education if not communication? Communication is key for education, and masks inhibit communication."Ms Kingsley said that some children are unable to "speak at an age-appropriate level" following the pandemic and others have struggled with mental illness.
"We further impede them at a time when the vast majority of adults are not required to wear masks anything like 7 hours a day in England," she said."The real issue from a parent point of view here... is that no harm assessment of this measure has ever been carried out."
