Many readers will be aware of a new campaign launched recently by the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children. It is a concerted campaign aiming to put an end to the thousands of horrific cases of child abuse which takes place in the UK every year.

Like many readers, I have often been concerned by cruelty to children but have done nothing, simply because I didn't know how or mostly due to fear of being seen as a busy body.

However, we all have a part to play in ending child cruelty and I have recently pledged my support to the NSPCC to do all I can to end such cruelty.

If you want to see an end to child cruelty call the NSPCC on 0845 6000 266 now to pledge your support.
