WHY IT MATTERS

  • Early motherloss is taboo even though every 22 minutes a young person loses a parent in the UK. That’s 111 children every day, around 40 in every school.

    – Childhood Bereavement Network UK

  • The loss of mothering happens in many ways, not just through death. One child in every 20 in the UK are referred to social services, the highest numbers in history. Neglect is the number one reason.

    - UK Department for Education

  • The number of children without mothering is rising in the UK because the underlying causes, such as poverty, maternal death rates and mental health problems are growing.

    – various sources

  • '.. it may not actually be the wide spectrum of childhood adversity that drives poor outcomes, but the degree to which that adversity drives shame, guilt, anger, alienation and degree of social isolation.'

    - A.Garner (2021) Preventing Childhood Toxic Stress
