Child Deaths
11 May 2026
NSPCC Learning has published an updated statistics briefing on child deaths due to abuse or neglect. This briefing looks at what data is available; how best to use it; and what the statistics can tell us about child deaths, child abuse and neglect in the UK. NSPCC Learning’s series of statistics briefings aim to help people and the organisations they work for make evidence-based decisions about how best to meet the needs of children.
