New report examines whether smacking harms children

The Christian Institute / en staff

A new report by the Christian Institute claims the evidence does not support the view that mild smacking causes harm to children, particularly when delivered in the context of warm and loving parenting.

The narrative review, Does Smacking Contribute to Negative Outcomes for Children?, examines 37 peer-reviewed studies.

The content of the 2020 Sex Education Curriculum, as interpreted by headteachers and those who design curriculum materials, took many parents by surprise. For example children in Hull, were asked to define ‘hardcore and transsexual porn’ as part of their lockdown school work.

Children as young as 11 were asked to consider different types of pornography and other inappropriate topics for homework at Archbishop Sentamu Academy, Hull.
