WITH the Hampshire Police and Crime Commissioner elections looming, the NSPCC is writing to each candidate to ask them to pledge support for the charity’s ‘It’s Time’ campaign.
Every year over half a million children are abused in the UK, the equivalent of two children in every primary school classroom. The majority are unable to access the support and care they desperately need and the NSPCC believes it’s time this changed.
Through setting it as a strategic priority, the next Police and Crime Commissioner for Hampshire can best ensure that abused children have access to the support services they desperately need.
