Child abuse: no more cover-ups

Additional Information

As citizens shocked by recent child abuse allegations, we call on you to introduce a mandatory reporting law so that all children are protected from abuse. The law must apply to all institutions where ‘Regulated Activities’ take place, mandating all staff who know, suspect, or have reasonable grounds for knowing or suspecting child abuse, to inform the Local Authority Designated Officer, children's services or the police. This is the only way to ensure that an independent assessment can happen right away, and to stop perpetrators as soon as possible. The statutory guidance system has failed; it’s time for tougher laws to protect children now.
