    24 December 2010

    Dewsbury-born actor, Kazia Pelka, has backed a campaign to highlight child neglect across UK.

    Action for Children has been uncovering the true extent of child neglect in the four home nations as part of its 'Take your action for children' neglect appeal which was launched in October 2009.

    Kazia, famous for roles in much-loved TV series such as Heartbeat and Coronation Street, has joined other Yorkshire stars including Harry Potter actor, Matthew Lewis and model Nell McAndrew, who have signed a petition calling on governments across the UK to pursue a policy of early intervention to tackle the problem of child neglect.
