An estimated 1.5 million UK children suffer neglect without governmnet protection
Kids Company has launched a UK campaign 'See the Child. Change the System' to address the consistent failures of children's statutory services to adequately care for the country's most vulnerable children.
The campaign follows the release of the damning Centre for Social Justice report on Child Protection and Statutory Mental Health entitled 'Enough is Enough', which contains testimony from Kids Company, Social Workers, Child Mental Health Workers, Head Teachers and Legal Professionals who have now whistle-blown on a system in crisis.
An estimated 1.5million children in the UK are suffering neglect and Government is leaving these vulnerable children to survive, alone, without proper protection, care and support. Kids Company has been told by numerous politicians that 'there are no votes in children so we are urging the public to act as a collective voice on behalf of all the children who are suffering.
It is time to hold politicians to account over the failing state of child protection and mental health services.
