60,000 sign for Daniel’s Law

Our campaign for Daniel’s Law hit 60,000 last week, recent signatures include MPs and councillors.

One of our supporting MPs has recommended we pursue an Early Day Motion in Parliament. Although an EDM doesn’t have any legislative capacity, it would give us a good platform to start visibly lobbying government and it would help keep media interested.

One of our supporters received this note of formal encouragement from MP Mark Hunter in response to her letter asking him to support Daniel’s Law. It is worthwhile writing to your MP, as support grows for a parliamentary debate of Daniel’s Law – you can use part of all of the draft letter here to highlight key points.

Child protection continues to feature predominantly in media headlines; leading charities consider we could be approaching a tipping point…

Keep campaigning for Daniel’s Law. Every signature counts.

Why Daniel’s Law?

This aim of this campaign is to make it the law to come to the aid of children in distress by reporting child abuse, as it already is in many other countries.

Four-year-old Daniel Pelka was starved and mistreated in full view of his primary school teachers and teaching assistants, who observed his desperate attempts to forage for food, his severe weight-loss and the numerous bruises on his body, before his death at the hands of his mother and step-father.
