Claire Perry MP Backs Child Neglect Campaign

On 24 January, Claire Perry, MP for the Devizes Constituency, attended the Parliamentary launch of Action for Children's report into child neglect. Claire added her name to the charity's petition, signed by over 16,000 members of the public, calling on the Government to intervene early to prevent and tackle child neglect.

Following the launch, Claire said:

"Action for Children's report presents a worrying outlook of the tragic circumstances facing neglected children today and I know the Government is working hard to give social workers more time and space for better quality assessments. I welcome the Government's approach to help children's services, the Police and the NHS work together and focus on early identification of problems before they escalate so we can move towards a more coordinated and local approach to combat this issue".
