Education secretary says his wife occasionally gives their child ‘a light smack’, after children’s tsar called for ban in England
The education secretary has rejected calls for a ban on smacking children in England, as he argued that the state should not be “nannying” parents and revealed that his wife had occasionally given their child a “light smack on the arm”.
Nadhim Zahawi said his “very strong view” was that parents should be trusted to discipline their children correctly and added it was “much better to sit down and communicate with your child” and “discuss what positive behaviour looks like”.
