Research on what child neglect is, its impact, causes and responses to it throughout the UK.
In October 2009, Action for Children launched a dedicated campaign to raise awareness of – and funds to directly tackle – child neglect. In the course of the campaign, they spoke to a broad cross-section of society to find out what they know about neglect, if and how they see it, and how they respond to it.
The general public, childcare professionals such as nurses and nursery workers, police, social workers and children themselves were consulted.
