Why children die: death in infants, children and young people in the UK

By Royal College of Paediatrics & Child Health (2014)

This report published by the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health (RCPCH) reviews existing UK evidence on child mortality. It finds that many of the causes of child death, including perinatal deaths and suicides, disproportionately affect the most disadvantaged in society. In response to the report, the College in partnership with the National Children’s Bureau have developed a suite of recommendations to tackle child mortality in England. These recommendations cut across the three domains of government and civil society, health systems and organisations, and health care and public health.
