Petition Action

Ban hitting children in England

Petition Details

Bring the law in England inline with Scotland to ban physical punishment of children.

Additional Information

I strongly belive that any form of physical punishment of children should be illigal. It is never accepitable for an adult to hit a child. There are many better ways to teach a child how to behave.
