The UK is among the highest-ranking rates for family breakdown in the western world along with the USA which has comparable statistics.
48% of all children born today (2010) will experience family breakdown before their 16th birthday, which is over 3.2 million children living in one parent households (Benson, 2010) or approximately, 4 million children do not live with both their parents (CSJ; 2013)
In 2015, 23,600 parents die in the UK, which equates to one parent every twenty-two minutes, leaving approximately 41,000 dependent children aged 0-17yrs. This transcribes as 112 bereaved children every day (CBN, 2016).
1:4 children will experience parental breakdown by the age of 16yrs.
41,000 children are bereaved every single year in the UK (CBN, 2016)
