THE SMACKING of children in Wales could be outlawed.
Welsh Assembly Government officials are weighing up whether to ask for powers to implement a ban on corporal punishment, after the UK Government yesterday refused to make it illegal.
Welsh Assembly deputy health minister, Gwenda Thomas, told AMs that civil servants were examining whether or not it should go it alone in introducing the law.
She said: “I’m very aware this is an issue which has attracted a lot of attention in the past, and certainly today, and careful thought must be given to it.”
Westminster Children’s Minister Kevin Brennan said a review of the law revealed parents were largely opposed to a ban.
They are allowed to punish children with a smack that does no more than cause “a temporary reddening of the skin”.
