The NSPCC’s second UK-wide study of child abuse interviewed a random sample of parents, children and young adults about experiences of child abuse and neglect. Among the key findings are that some forms of child maltreatment reported by young adults aged 18–24 years were lower in 2009 than in 1998/9 (when the first study was carried out). However, there is still a substantial minority of children and young people who are severely maltreated and experiencing abuse at home, in school and in the community, from adults and from peers. All forms of abuse in childhood were associated with poorer mental health and elevated delinquent behaviour and strong associations were found between maltreatment, sexual abuse and physical violence, and poorer emotional wellbeing, including self-harm and suicidal thoughts.

The issue of slavery in the UK has made the headlines over the last few days and has thrown the UK's 'dirty secret' into the spotlight. But what do we know about this hidden phenomenon and what can we do about it? The Joseph Rowntree Organisation has just published a new report about forced labour in Northern Ireland documenting the experiences of a number of employees who had been exploited in the workplace, some of whom had been in forced labour. You can read more about the report and its findings here. UK Slavery What do know?
