The Millennium Cohort Study (MCS) is a multi-disciplinary research project following the lives of around 19,000 children born in the UK in 2000/1. Four surveys of MCS cohort members have been carried out so far, the first of which was when the baby was aged 9 months. This report provides an overview of statistics, from MCS dataset 1 and other comparable data sources, about the attitudes, experiences and challenges faced by new parents in each of the 4 countries of the UK. It includes: parental attitudes to child rearing; maternal post-natal attachment; parental mental health; domestic abuse; parental alcohol consumption; and problems experienced by parents during the first few months. It also sheds some light on parental experiences of professional support.

Quantitative analysis on the potential numbers of children in England living in households where the ‘toxic trio’ of factors affecting adults may be present. The ‘toxic trio’ is the interaction of domestic violence and abuse, parental substance misuse and parental mental health issues. The analysis is based on the 2014 Adult Psychiatric Morbidity Survey (APMS), a sample of around 7,500 adults in living in private households in England . The report summarises the approach used and provides prevalence figures for the three issues, and their co-occurance, for children in England. The report estimates that 100,000 children in England (0.9 percent of all children in England) are in a household where a randomly-selected adult faces all three ‘toxic trio’ issues to a severe extent, while 420,000 children (3.6 percent of all children in England) are in a household where a randomly-selected adult faces all three ‘toxic trio’ issues to a moderate/severe extent. It is one of four technical reports supporting the wider Children’s Commissioner’s programme into quantifying the scale of vulnerability faced by young people. (Edited publisher abstract)
