UK government declines to ban smacking in new Children's Wellbeing Bill despite calls for change.

Despite calls from charities and the children's commissioner, the UK government will not include a ban on smacking in the upcoming Children's Wellbeing Bill. The bill, to be unveiled in Parliament, includes measures like free breakfast clubs, a register of children not in school, and stricter scrutiny of home-schooling requests. This decision comes after the murder of Sara Sharif, whose killers claimed legal right to punish her.
