Child abuse is rapidly declining
Tuesday, December 20th, 2005 by Charles PragnellChild abuse is rapidly declining in England according to the most recent statistics published by the Department for Education and Skills (Statistics of Education - Referrals, Assessments, and Children and Young People on Child Protection Registers : Year Ending 31 March 2004).
The statistics show that at the 31 March 2004 the number of children on Child Protection Registers had declined to 26,300, which was 25% fewer than in 1994. The child population of England is 11 million children.
This figure can be reduced even further as 3,400 children on the Child Protection Registers at 31 March 2004 were actually in the care of local authorities and presumably were not therefore `At Risk’.
