Abstract: |
This report, produced by the National Institute of Economic and Social Research for the NSPCC, provides an overview of recent literature on the prevalence of child maltreatment, its impact on children throughout their lives, and the costs it incurs on the children, their families and the wider society. It goes on to consider the potential savings that might arise from preventive interventions. Although only a relatively small proportion of children were identified as having experienced maltreatment in any particular year, retrospective studies of adults suggest that a much larger number have some experience of maltreatment at some stage of their childhood. The report concluded that approaches which focus on ensuring that the community provides an environment where resilience of both parents and children is strengthened and where the incidence of risk factors is reduced, and where the institutions that have the capacity to improve life prospects are improved are the most likely to bring about improvements in children’s life chances. |
