I want an end to the use of any punitive restraint used against children in residential care with histories of adversity and trauma. It risks retraumatising them, when therapeutic practise is available to support healing, development and achievement.
Mr David Lammy
Deputy Prime Minister
Make it illegal for a child to be left home alone before a specific age
Set mandatory minimum sentences for all child-related offences
Reform the Mental Health Act to remove the detention of autistic people
Make child abandonment by a parent a criminal offence
Abolish the Office of the Children’s Commissioner
