Half a million children a year suffer abuse in the UK which means that means seven children in a classroom experience abuse before they turn 18. Childhood Day brings everyone in the UK together to have fun and help protect children. Childhood Day will be the NSPCC’s national flagship day for the summer term of fundraising and action to bring communities together across the UK, and give everyone a way to ply their part in helping to keep children safe.
