UK Europe presses UK to introduce total ban on smacking children

25 Apr 2010 |

‘The Guardian’ reports that the Council of Europe will increase its pressure on the UK to ban corporal punishment of children. Current law prohibits the use of force against children, but gives adults in the home and in some part-time schools and religious institutions a defence to the charge of assault in cases of mild force where they can show the punishment was reasonable.
