FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda The research commissioned by YouGov and the University of Sterling asked some 40 percent of teachers, police officers and social workers in 27 Local Authorities around the country about child poverty, to which they answered they regularly came into contact with deprived children, but felt powerless to help, the daily The Independent said in a report.
The government, itself, defines “neglect”, as a “persistent failure to meet a child’s basic physical and/or psychological need”.
According to findings, neglect is “now a factor in 60 percent of infant deaths or serious injuries”.
The shadow Children’s minister, Lisa Nandy, described the probe, part of an ongoing project by Action for Children, as shedding light on a constant failure to protect vulnerable families.
“It’s a really shocking statistic, but it’s not a surprise given that there’s been a sharp increase in the stress on families, combined with cuts to local authorities,” she said.
“With all the focus being on free schools and academies, it leaves very little room for child protection. The Department for Education’s priorities are absolutely in the wrong order and a report like this should act as a wake-up call to ministers. They are creating a perfect storm; the situation for the most vulnerable children looks really bleak”, Nandy added.
Some 6,000 front-line workers and parents were polled between June and October last year as part of The State of Child Neglect report.
Dame Clare Tickell, CEO of Action for Children, said of the findings: “Vulnerable children are falling through the cracks of a protection system that is failing some of those who need it most – sometimes with tragic consequences.”
