WHAT IS NEGLECT?
Neglect is when the parents or carers of a child do not provide
them with adequate food, clothing, warmth, shelter, care and protection.
A neglected child does not receive the appropriate care
that they require in order to grow, develop and thrive, in other
words they are left to fend for themselves. They may lack medical
care and do not have their basic needs met. Parents who leave their
children unattended may also be considered as having neglected
them and this is a form of child abuse.
It is probably true to say that many parents who neglect their children
do indeed love them, however they lack the fundamental
knowledge of how to care for them adequately. The parents often
have personal problems of their own which can also have a negative
impact on the overall welfare of their child.

The child may be underweight.
The child may not have adequate clothing suitable for the time
of year.
The child may suffer frequent injuries due to lack of supervision.
The child may suffer from minor infections and ailments on a
regular basis which go untreated, such as earaches, coughs and
toothache.
The child may talk about being left alone or left to care for
younger siblings.
The child will appear to be hungry constantly.
The child will be tired due to lack of sleep or irregular sleeping

Parents and carers of neglected children are often very difficult to
get hold of and even if an appointment is made, for example with
the school, the parents will invariably fail to turn
