Abstract
Child neglect is the most pervasive form of child abuse in the UK today. It robs children of the childhood they deserve and leaves broken families, dashed aspirations and misery in its wake. Too many children are still experiencing chronic neglect throughout large parts of their childhood and are not getting the help they need when they need it.
