Neglect is one of the most common forms of child abuse – it affects one in 10 children in the UK. We’re giving parents the power to change this

Children need food, clothing, and shelter. They need to be protected from danger. It’s up to adults to make sure children and young people have these basics, yet so many go without. That’s neglect.

My support practitioner from Action for Children was a godsend. Without her, my kids would be in care and I wouldn’t be here. She really did save my life. The children aren’t walking on eggshells or living in fear. They’re a lot happier and more confident.

Neglect robs children of their childhood and makes them feel invisible. In the worst cases, children die. Yet parents don’t always spot the problems. And too often, families are ignored until they hit crisis.

The Family Partners programme is our groundbreaking solution. It gets help to parents early, and gives them life-changing skills and support.

The Family Partners Programme

Family Partners is an intensive support service delivered in the home over 22 weeks. It helps families prevent and reverse child neglect. It does this by teaching positive change. We work with parents to overcome their difficulties.

81% of parents say they feel more confident after completing the programme. Children’s behaviour improves, too.
