From the NSPCC:
Statistics from 2015 show that between July and September, the NSPCC helpline received 453 calls and emails from adults concerned about children being left unattended. Of these, 366 were so serious they were passed to police or social services.
As we enter the summer holidays, we're urging parents to think carefully before leaving their children home alone.
