Feasibility Study into Prevalence of Child Abuse - AWARD

Child abuse is an appalling crime and can have a lasting effect. As there is no single source reporting the current scale of child abuse in the UK, we do not know how many children are experiencing abuse today. It is vital that statistics are improved to help measure the current prevalence of child abuse. The ONS Centre for Crime and Justice are conducting a feasibility study, to determine whether a survey to measure the current prevalence of child abuse in the UK could be effective.
