Smacking children and harsh parenting could have a long-lasting impact on a child’s mental health and behaviour, research suggests.
The use of smacking has generated much debate, with Scotland last year the first nation in the UK to ban the practice. The removal of “justifiable assault” from the law means children now have the same protection from violence as adults.
Now experts say research highlights the need for the other nations to ban the practice, too.
“Scotland has already made that change and Wales is coming, and it would just be great if England could follow suit as well,” said Dr Rebecca Lacey, co-author of the research from University College London. “There are more, softer ways of dealing with problem behaviours,” she added.
