Alan Shearer and Michael Caine join calls for PM to ban smacking
Celebrities and campaigners urge the Prime Minister to amend the Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill to end the outdated defence allowing smacking in England.
- Famous faces, including actors Sir Michael Caine and Natalie Dormer, have called on the Prime Minister to ban smacking children in England.
- While Wales and Scotland have already banned physical punishment of children, in England it is still permitted as 'reasonable punishment' under the Children Act 2004.
- The letter, coordinated by the NSPCC and supported by child health organizations, states that it is 'never reasonable to hit a child' and urges the Prime Minister to 'stand up for every child's right to safety, dignity, and respect.
