The Children’s Rights Alliance for England has published a report assessing how well the Government is protecting children’s rights. Key points from the report include: a child in custody was restrained resulting in an injury requiring hospital treatment on average once a month in 2010-11; and in October 2012, 37% of children in custody were from black and minority ethnic backgrounds, a rise of 3% on the previous year. |
