Summary: The National Children's Bureau and Save the
Children UK carried out a study with young
children in 1997 to ensure they could be part
of the public debate on physical punishment in
the family. This booklet summarises the
research findings.
This booklet has been put together by the Children's Rights Alliance for
England and Save the Children UK to assist parliamentarians in the
Children Bill debate on whether or not babies and children should have the
same protection from assault as adults.
The full report from which the information in this pamphlet was extracted is
entitled "It Hurts You Inside: Children Talking About Smacking" by Carolyne
Willow and Tina Hyder (1998). A revised edition has been produced in 2004
and is available from www.crae.org.uk or www.savethechildren.org.uk.
The booklet will also be of interest to professionals and agencies working
with children and families, including teachers, social workers, youth
workers and health care workers.
