Low numbers of ‘at risk’ children attending school

A report by BBC Newsnight has revealed that in some areas only a quarter of ‘at risk’ children who have been allocated school places during the coronavirus crisis are attending school. In some areas of the UK, Newsnight reveals that this figure is below 10%.

The low numbers are worrying for police as these children are more vulnerable to abuse when at home.
