NSPCC says child cruelty offences rose by a quarter in a year

The number of child cruelty offences in England jumped by a quarter last year, according to police data collected by the NSPCC.

The child protection charity blames the stress many families felt during the pandemic for the rise, and backs recent high-profile calls for earlier help.

"This must be a priority for government," said NSPCC chief executive Sir Peter Wanless.

Ministers have promised "a fundamental shift" in help for struggling families.

The NSPCC sent Freedom of Information requests to each of England's 39 police forces and 36 responded.


Thousands more cases
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.

This amounts to an average of 72 cases of child neglect or cruelty each day, the charity calculates.

Some of the increase may be down to better awareness and recording by police, but the charity says the findings are worrying.

It says communities have an important role to play and wants anyone who is concerned about a child to contact the NSPCC or the authorities.


'Everyone can help'
"But our message isn't just for politicians. It's vital to remember that child abuse can be prevented," said Sir Peter.

The figures are being released on the charity's flagship Childhood Day, to help raise awareness of "how everyone can play their part in keeping children safe".

"We play our part in many ways," said campaigner Paula Hudgell, from Kent. Her adopted son Tony had both his legs broken as a six-month-old baby by his biological parents, who also failed to get help for him for several days.
