Question
How many prosecutions and convictions have occurred under the Children (Abolition of Defence of Reasonable Punishment) (Wales) Act 2020?
Answer
Answered by Cabinet Secretary for Social Justice, Trefnydd and Chief Whip
The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) in Wales monitor the number of cases relating to the Act which are referred to them, as well how many of these cases are charged, and what the outcomes of these cases are. It is not currently possible to publish figures as the number reported is so small as to pose a risk to personal information being disclosed.
