Dramatically increase funding for children’s social services

Petition Details

The Government should dramatically increase funding for children’s social services to try and prevent children’s deaths across the country. This should fund additional social workers and better pay, so they are better able to do their jobs, and can spot/act on signs of abuse

Additional Information

In 2020/21, there were over 24.8 thousand child abuse offences recorded by the police in England and Wales, an increase of 2.9 thousand offences when compared with the previous year, and a peak for this type of offence.

During the coronavirus outbreak the number of adults concerned about children calling the the NSPCC helpline has gone up by over 20%

Something dramatic needs to change.
