Charity says ‘toxic cocktail’ of financial pressure, disrupted festive plans and strained relationships create unsafe environment for youngsters
Many children are facing their “most dangerous Christmas yet” as uncertainty over Covid and the cumulative pressures of the pandemic heighten internal family tensions, the NSPCC has warned.
The charity’s chief executive, Peter Wanless, said a “toxic cocktail” of accumulating financial pressures, disrupted festive plans and strained relationships threatened to create unsafe environments for some children and young people.
