This kind of dangerous exploitation has a terrible impact on vulnerable children – recognising it as a specific crime is overdue. I will keep pushing for child victims of abuse to get the support they need to recover & for perpetrators to face the severest possible consequences.

"Children are acutely aware of their parents' worries and the impact these have on their lives - and education." Children's Commissioner Dame Rachel de Souza welcomes the government's expansion of free school meals to children from households on Universal Credit. Full statement 👇🏻
