Ethical guidance so far issued makes no specific provision or concession for children-or indeed any vulnerable group, or those with instrumental value to society, 3 but is founded on the principle of equal concern and respect. 8 This Convention would apply to children's involvement in the recovery from lockdown, for example, return to school, even if a consequence was of significant concomitant benefit to adults such as the ability of parents to return to work, improvement of family social circumstances and mental health. It would also encourage the more active involvement of children in the process, be compatible with participation rights as granted by the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNRC) and give participants a sense of inclusivity and partnership that would be of social utility.	./cache/cord-354993-gdz63spj.txt	./txt/cord-354993-gdz63spj.txt
