Child neglect campaign
Serious neglect kills children. Studies suggest that up to 10% of all children in Britain are neglected - more than twice the number of children born in the UK in 2007.
No child should be neglected. That's why we've launched a three-year appeal to make the UK wake up to neglect. Neglected children desperately need our help and through our appeal will be:
- campaigning to improve the way we tackle child neglect, and highlighting the importance of intervening early to help families with emerging issues, before they become long-term problems
- encouraging governments to spend more - and more wisely - on public services that focus on early intervention
- raising desperately needed money to develop targeted, effective initiatives that tackle the key causes of neglect
We work with thousands of vulnerable families already but there are many more families out there who need our help. With your support, we can offer a lifeline to even more neglected children right across the UK.
