• Ending physical punishment in Wales

  Tue 05 Apr 2022

  The following information can be found along with an informational video by clicking here. 

   

  Ending physical punishment in Wales

   

  21 March 2022 was a historic moment for children and their rights in Wales. From this day on, physically punishing children became illegal in Wales.

  We want to protect children and their rights, to help give them the best start in life.

  What is physical punishment?

  There are lots of types of physical punishment. 

  It can mean smacking, hitting, slapping and shaking. But there are other types too.

  It isn’t possible to give a set list of what makes up physical punishment because it can be anything where a child is punished using physical force.

  Research suggests that any type of physical punishment could be harmful to children.

  What does the change in law mean?

  • All physical punishment is illegal in Wales.
  • It gives children the same protection from assault as adults.
  • It makes the law clearer - easier for children, parents, professionals and the public to understand.

  Does the new law apply to everybody in Wales?

  Yes, it applies to everyone - parents or anyone who is responsible for a child while the parents are absent.

  And as with other laws, it applies to visitors to Wales too.

  Physical punishment has been illegal in schools, children’s homes, local authority foster care homes and childcare settings for some time.

  What happens if people physically punish a child?

  Anyone who physically punishes a child:  

  • will be breaking the law  
  • risks being arrested or charged with assault
  • may get a criminal record which is the same for any criminal offence

  Information, advice and support is available for anyone who needs it, to help them find positive ways to manage children's behaviour and to help avoid such a situation ever happening.

  What should I do if I see a child being physically punished or if I am concerned about a child?

  • Contact your local social services department.
  • You can also call the police in an emergency or if a child is in immediate danger.

  Where can I get advice and support?

  • Parenting. Give it time offers positive parenting practical hints, tips and expert advice to encourage good behaviour from children and alternatives to physical punishment. Their parenting support page offers links to further support and helplines.
  • Universal parenting support and advice is provided by midwives, health visitors, GPs and Family Information Services. 
  • Early help programmes such as Flying Start (if you live in a Flying Start area) and Families First.

• The Future of Additional Learning Needs

  Wed 15 Dec 2021

  Additional Learning Needs is changing from January 2022. It will be gradual through 2022-2024 but we want to inform parents as early as possible so that we can work together to understand these changes and ensure we support your child in the best way possible. There is a letter on our Additional Learning Needs page which explains some aspects but it also has some links to click on for further information that we recommend you look into. 

   

  We have also linked a video on Youtube produced by Swansea Council which is a very good resource for explaining the changes.
