Paula said: “This is a victory for Tony – and for every child who deserves to be safe, protected and heard.
“It shows that with persistence, courage, and a united team, real change is possible.
“After eight years of campaigning, I am incredibly proud that the child cruelty register is finally becoming a reality.
“This register is a vital step forward in protecting vulnerable children, ensuring that adults who harm or neglect children cannot simply move on unnoticed.”
Thanking everyone who has supported the campaign, including Helen Grant MP, she added: “This journey has been emotional, challenging, and at times overwhelming, but it has never been just my fight.”
