Petition Clear guidance on the legal age children can be left alone or babysitting.
More details
There is no clear age limit, In law, for children being left at home alone. I am calling for;
- A clear age limit of when a child can be left at home alone.
- A clear age limit at what age a child/ young person can look after another child at home.
After knowing someone who was cautioned for 'Abandoning' an 11 year old child at home for 2 hours.
