Hundreds of thousands of children could be suffering mental and physical health issues due to the cost of living crisis, a poll suggests
Cost of living has harmed mental and physical health of hundreds of thousands of children, parents’ poll saysQuarter of parents of under-11s say their child’s mental health has been impacted, with nearly a fifth warning of damage to physical health, YouGov/Save The Children survey shows.
Nearly four in 10 parents with a household income of £30,000 or less said their child’s mental health had been affected by the UK’s economic situation. Becca Lyon, the charity’s head of child poverty, said: “No child deserves to feel the effects of a crisis that has nothing to do with them. “Parents are trying everything they can to put their children first, skipping their own meals, going without heating and their own essentials, but it’s clear families feel their young ones are suffering in such tough financial times.
