Thousands of child protection concerns made to NSPCC during Christmas period
The NSPCC helpline received over 5,000 contacts last December about child abuse and neglect, with 17% leading to referrals to authorities or emergency services.

- The campaign advert is inspired by a woman's true story of abuse by her father, using lived experience to spotlight holiday harms.
