Five million UK children lost a parent or other caregiver because of the pandemic. I'd start by doing something to reduce that.

This statement is obviously untrue, there's probably only 10 million children in the UK. Have half lost a parent to Covid? Of course not. And indeed looking at your source, it turns out that it's five million children in the world.
