You've signed - now tell the Education Minister to protect kids!

To: David Cameron and Nicky Morgan:

As citizens shocked by recent child abuse allegations, we call on you to introduce a mandatory reporting law so that all children are protected from abuse. The law must apply to all institutions where ‘Regulated Activities’ take place, mandating all staff who know, suspect, or have reasonable grounds for knowing or suspecting child abuse, to inform the Local Authority Designated Officer, children's services or the police. This is the only way to ensure that an independent assessment can happen right away, and to stop perpetrators as soon as possible. The statutory guidance system has failed; it’s time for tougher laws to protect children now.

Here's some tips:
  • Experts believe only 5% of child abuse is reported today.
  • We need “duty to report” rules for all regulated activities involving children.
  • Delaying leaves thousands at risk - the government must amend the Serious Crime Bill now, not kick this into the long grass of an inquiry.
  • As Education Minister, it’s in your power to push for tough laws to protect kids. Don’t let them down.
