The University of Southampton's 'COVID Warriors' programme is believed to be the first of its kind to support and deliver public health messaging around the pandemic to primary school pupils.
It has now gained the support of the Royal Society for Public Health (RSPH).
The aim of COVID Warriors is to support primary school aged pupils in their understanding of why the nation is being asked to behave differently and what we can do to keep our friends, families and school communities safe.
It is currently being delivered in 11 schools across Southampton, however it is now available for all schools and children in the UK to download.
