Following recent news around doctors calling for a total ban on smacking children, we are looking to speak with social workers who have experience working with a family on education around physical punishment. We would love to hear about your experience working with a family to stop the use of hitting or smacking and why it is so important to educate around this issue to stop the use of physical discipline of children and young people. If you or anyone you know has experience with this, or has something to say on this topic, we’d love to hear from you. Please get in touch with communications@thefrontline.org.uk by 7 April. It's our hope that we can use these stories to build a wider piece to pitch to media and publish online. All stories will, of course, remain anonymous.
