New multi-agency Neglect Strategy
Neglect is the most common reason for a child to be the subject of a child Protection Plan in the UK and research from the NSPCC tells us that 1 in 7 secondary school age children and 1 in 20 children under 11 in the UK have been neglected at some point.
To help combat neglect of children the Wirral Safeguarding Children Partnership has developed and published its new multi-agency Neglect Strategy.
