flag In the UK, leaving a child alone in a car is not illegal.

flag The UK government doesn't have a specific law against leaving a child unattended in a car, but it's considered an offense if it poses a risk to the child. flag Deciding what constitutes risk depends on the situation and the child's maturity. flag The National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children advises that babies, toddlers, and very young children should never be left unattended, while children under 12 may not be mature enough for long periods of unsupervised time. flag Parents should evaluate these factors individually, as the maturity of each child varies.
