Child neglect

Looking after our children properly and making sure they grow up to be healthy, confident and well-educated young adults is one of the most important things government must get right. Yet in Britain it appears one-fifth of school teachers come across child neglect cases in their schools every month. That's tens of thousands of children whose mother's don't care enough about them to look after them properly and who can't be bothered to get help when it's needed. This would never happen in the UKpopdem world; actually could never happen: our children are the only hope for the future we have and whatever else happens they must be looked after right to adulthood. Everyone knows UKpopdems want to create a million new front-line resources working right there in your community and we'll bring back the old health visitor as part of that. It means direct help from caring, expert people for parents and anyone else looking after children. And you wont have to go looking for them, either, they'll be right there on your doorstep; not criticising or lecturing or form-filling, but giving practical support.
