UK: Warning of lockdown loneliness for parents

By ITS Education Asia

Loneliness among parents of young children has "dramatically increased" during the pandemic, suggests research from the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's Royal Foundation.

The charity gathered views from half a million people in the UK on bringing up children under the age of five. It found parents increasingly worried about feeling cut off from support, particularly in more deprived areas.

The report from the Royal Foundation shows parents under emotional pressure in the pandemic - drawing on 528,000 responses to the Five Big Questions survey, plus further research with 3,700 people across the UK.
