Adverse direct and indirect impacts of the current COVID-19 pandemic will disproportionately fall on individuals and families from poorer backgrounds, those in public facing jobs and living in higher density housing. Tower Hamlets, the site of this study, with its pre-existing stark income and health inequalities is already a high-risk inner city area, placed in one of the richest global cities. This project will focus on the impacts of the lockdown, and its aftermath for the borough's young children, who are likely to experience new health and educational inequalities as a result of the unprecedented restrictions on mobility associated with slowing the spread of COVID-19 introduced on 23 March 2020. Tower Hamlets has a highly diverse population profile, with residents from a wide range of ethnicities and social and economic backgrounds, which offers an opportunity to identify how families deploy their interpersonal, economic and social resources to manage risks associated with living in lockdown and in recovery from lockdown. In close partnership with the borough Public Health and children's services team, we will run a repeat survey of 2000 couple and single parent families with children aged 0-4, and pregnant women; a longitudinal qualitative panel with approximately 60 household members including fathers and wider kin; and examine changing family support services, and emergent community resources such as mutual aid and peer networks. We are interested in families' cultural and inter-personal assets as well as their vulnerabilities: what new forms of managing family and community life have emerged and how are these novel methods helping young children? We will include two groups defined as vulnerable; pregnant women and shielded children. The survey tools chosen are those being run by the concurrent Born in Bradford (BiB) cohort study and by the International Network on Leave Policies and Research offering robust comparisons. Findings will help guide the borough's deployment of scarce resources in the recovery phase of the pandemic and will have relevance to all inner-city areas.

当前COVID-19大流行的直接和间接不利影响将不成比例地落在背景较贫穷、从事面向公众工作和居住在高密度住房中的个人和家庭身上。托尔哈姆莱茨（Tower Hamlets）是这项研究的研究地点，其收入和健康方面的严重不平等已经是一个高风险的内城地区，位于全球最富裕的城市之一。该项目将重点关注封锁的影响及其对该区幼儿的影响，由于2020年3月23日为减缓COVID-19的传播而实施的前所未有的流动性限制，这些儿童可能会经历新的健康和教育不平等。Tower Hamlets的人口结构非常多样化，居民来自不同的种族和社会经济背景，这为确定家庭如何部署其人际、经济和社会资源，以管理与封锁生活和封锁后恢复相关的风险提供了机会。我们将与自治市公共卫生和儿童服务小组密切合作，对2000个有0-4岁儿童的夫妇和单亲家庭以及孕妇进行重复调查；由大约60名家庭成员组成的纵向定性小组，包括父亲和更广泛的亲属；并研究不断变化的家庭支持服务，以及互助和同伴网络等新兴社区资源。我们对家庭的文化和人际关系资产及其脆弱性感兴趣：出现了哪些管理家庭和社区生活的新形式，这些新方法如何帮助年幼的孩子？我们将包括两个被定义为弱势群体的群体；孕妇和受保护的儿童。所选择的调查工具是同时由出生在布拉德福德（BiB）队列研究和休假政策与研究国际网络运行的，提供了强有力的比较。调查结果将有助于指导该行政区在大流行恢复阶段部署稀缺资源，并将与所有市中心地区相关。
