“We can’t continue with the status quo where tech platforms 'move fast and break things' instead of prioritising children’s safety” @NSPCC https://t.co/JPy6LgmfzB

[Megan Sutherland @mlsutherland25]

Midwives, health visitors & other professionals provide support that can make a real difference for parents. Worryingly, our research shows that service doors are often closed, hard to reach, or out of touch with the needs of families impacted by poverty: https://t.co/SceS9yED1L

The Online Safety Act will help to create a safer digital experience for all, especially for young people.

@peterkyle met with @NSPCC’s Voice of Online Youth to hear their views on online safety & what social media companies should do to protect young people online.

[Megan Sutherland @mlsutherland25]

New @NSPCC data shows that online grooming crimes have reached record levels across the UK.

One year after the Online Safety Act became law, we are still waiting for tech companies to make their platforms safe for children: https://t.co/5wHSWkMzFF

"It is appalling that these horrific chatbots were able to be created and shows a clear failure by https://t.co/jrjziH8bNk to have basic moderation in place on its service." @NSPCC https://t.co/uGSm5c3rG5

@MrJack_ONeill Congratulations!

[Gareth Hill @ga_hill]

.@NSPCC's @RichCCollard said that "questions remain as to why Meta are not rolling out similar protections on all their products, including on WhatsApp where grooming and sextortion also take place at scale". https://t.co/YgsC6lqPSS

Has child neglect been ‘normalised’ in the UK?
https://t.co/akCDY08E13

[Jamie Roberton @jamieroberton]

🚨 The UK’s leading children’s charity warns today that an urgent strategy is needed to tackle what it calls the “national crisis” of neglect.

The @NSPCC tells @Channel4News that neglect in children has become “normalised”, with poverty and the cost of living driving more cases

[Megan Sutherland @mlsutherland25]

Available resources and early help services to support families are “at an all-time low” and “economic pressures on families are at an all-time high”.

“This combination is proving disastrous for children and families”

Contacts to @NSPCC⁩ helpline about physical punishment of children have tripled. That’s why we’re asking
@10DowningStreet⁩ to show their commitment to #childprotection & end the legal anomaly excusing physical punishment in England #equalprotection https://t.co/N2JWJlp1me

'For many children physical punishment is still a part of their lives and I think we really need to address that'

Joanna Barrett speaks to Sky News after the NSPCC said concerns about children being physically punished have more than tripled in a year

Disturbingly, counsellors at ⁦@NSPCC⁩ #Childline are receiving an increasing number of calls from young people being blackmailed over faked indecent images. #Sextortion is a horrific crime but we’re helping teenagers fight back 👇🏼 https://t.co/PfJLJpUFgv

The @NSPCC is calling on the Government to invest its spending in providing greater longer-term support services so that more children can reunite and stay with their families when it is considered safe: https://t.co/owSAZ9KsSg

[Megan Sutherland @mlsutherland25]

"The Government must invest in joined-up early years services in local communities so that every family knows where they can go to for help & so that trained professionals can refer those experiencing domestic abuse to the right support services before problems escalate." @NSPCC

[The For Baby's Sake Trust @forbabyssake]

'Research based on the data, which was carried out by the charity For Baby’s Sake, estimated that as many as 187,750 infants are present at domestic abuse police callouts each year in England. Experts said the trauma that these children are experiencing “can be life altering” and said the data was the “tip of the iceberg”.'

Thank you to @Holly_JoyB at @Independent for sharing our insights suggesting that over 185,000 babies are present at domestic abuse police callouts in England annually.

Let’s think about the children in these images. Callously exploited and psychologically destroyed. They are not images. They are humans who will live with this forever and all for the twisted pleasure of the disgusting men who trade and swap this misery. And don’t call it child ‘pornography’. journalists. It is ‘abusive images’.

[Gareth Hill @ga_hill]

“There is a concerning discrepancy between the number of UK child abuse image crimes taking place on Apple’s services and the almost negligible number of global reports of abuse content they make to authorities" - @RichCCollard of the @NSPCC https://t.co/E001AARXSb

"The two-child benefit cap that is impacting 1.6 million children should be removed as a matter of urgency. Evidence shows that the policy only serves to increase poverty further. It must go." @PeterWanless in @politicshome https://t.co/SHviPaRkQU
