The charities, the NSPCC, Barnardo's and the Child Poverty Action Group (CPAG), have asked the parties to include five key policy commitments in their manifestos to help give children a safe and healthy future. They demand a campaign by MPs for independent children's commissioners, to be powerful champions for all children in the UK; a systematic review of all child deaths, to prevent children dying from abuse and neglect; a minimum income necessary for all families to ensure the health and well-being of their children; independent counselling schemes in all schools, to provide emotional support for all children who need it; and the right to an advocate for the interests of children in care.
