Campaigners have slammed the Welsh Government for spending a ‘horrifying’ amount on promoting its smacking ban.
According to pro-parent group Be Reasonable Wales, the estimated spend on publicity around the ban is £2.7m already.
The law was introduced in March, and under the Children (Abolition of Defence of Reasonable Punishment) (Wales) Act 2020, parents will no longer be able to even so much as tap a toddler on the behind without fear of prosecution.
