WATCH - CI unpicks the Wales' smacking ban
******

Dear supporter,

Yesterday, a smacking ban in Wales came into force. Loving parents now risk criminal prosecution for parenting in the same way as countless generations have done before them.

I spoke with our Deputy Director for Public Affairs Simon Calvert about the misinformation circulating in the media and some of the implications for families.

Simon has also been speaking out in the media:
******
* telling LBC’s Andrew Castle the ban is “an injustice”; ([link removed])
* challenging ‘The Parenting Expert’ Sue Atkins on talkRADIO after she likened smacking to child abuse; ([link removed])
* outlining the extent of the ban on GB News; and, ([link removed])
* on BBC Radio, debunking the Welsh Government’s claims that parents would not be criminalised. ([link removed])


Please pray that family life will be protected from unwarranted state interference. Pray too for Simon as he speaks out on this, and so many other issues of concern.

Yours in Christ,
Colin Hart

Director
