Paula Hudgell , with adopted son Tony, says everyone needs to play their part in keeping children safe

The NSPCC sent Freedom of Information requests to each of England's 39 police forces and 36 responded.There were more than 26,000 offences recorded where a child suffered neglect or cruelty in the year to the end of March 2022, up from just over 21,000 the year before, the figures suggest.Some of the increase may be down to better awareness and recording by police, but the charity says the findings are worrying.

The review, led by Josh MacAlister called for £2.6bn over five years to transform the system and prevent the number of children in care - already at record levels - rising above 100,000.both murdered by their parents' partners in 2020, said concerns of their wider families were too often "disregarded" by professionals.
