The Children Are Unbeatable! Alliance campaigns in the UK for the abolition of all forms of physical punishment and for the promotion of positive discipline.

 

More than 600 organisations or projects, and many more individuals, are already signed up in support. It is the broadest campaign coalition ever assembled on a children's issue.

Sign up to the aims of the Alliance now!

Why sign up? For so many reasons –

 

because hitting children is wrong,

because the UK is in breach of its human rights obligations while smacking remains legal,

because smacking is never necessary and risks children’s healthy development,

because there are clear links between physical punishment and statutory child abuse,

because we want to move on to a society where violence is not part of its culture…

and much, much more. See the case for reform for the detailed arguments on these and many other points.
