Out of 78 areas, protection of children has increased in only 10
The Government has been criticised over key aspects of children's human rights in a report highlighting how youngsters in custody are being handcuffed or have needed oxygen after being restrained.
The Children's Rights Alliance for England - a coalition of more than 380 organisations - which reports annually on the government's progress on implementing children's rights, finds that, out of 78 target areas highlighted in recommendations by the UN five years ago, protection of children has increased in only 10.
