Please see the information below which explains the changes in the law regarding physical punishment of a child together with links to practical tips for support for parents. 

Children (Abolition of Defence of Reasonable Punishment) (Wales) Act 2020. 

There still seems to be some confusion over the new law of it being illegal to use any form of physical punishment on a child.  This includes smacking, hitting, slapping and shaking, but it can be anything where a child is punished using physical force. 

The Law states that: 

• All physical punishment is illegal in Wales. 
• Children have the same protection from assault as adults. 
• This means the law is clear – easy for children, parents, professionals and the public to understand.  

What to do: 

• If the abuse is disclosed to you, contact the police on 101 and refer to Childrens Services at Single Point of Contact (SPOC) 01639 686803 
• If you witness this abuse, contact the police on 999 and refer to Childrens Services at Single Point of Contact (SPOC) 01639 686803 

There are resources to help parents understand the Law and to give practical tips, which can be accessed using the following links:
