MIDDLEWICH parliamentary candidate Fiona Bruce has delivered a Mothers’ Union report to the Prime Minister highlighting the sexualisation of children.

Fiona, who is a  candidate for the Congleton constituency, delivered The Bye Buy Childhood 2015 report to 10 Downing Street, asking Prime Minister David Cameron to consider the findings and recommendations of the report.

Fiona said: “As a member of the Middlewich branch of the Mothers’ Union, I was pleased to take this important report right to the heart of government, and present it to 10 Downing Street. The focus of the report, which I completely agree with, is that we must protect childhood, to allow children to be children.”

“By exposing children to too much too soon, our society risks robbing children of the chance to learn, grow and play in an environment where they feel safe and valued – without being unduly commercialised or sexualised far too early. 

“This report shines a spotlight on the ways in which the commercial world is encroaching of childhood, and teaching children to value themselves by what they own or by how they look”

“The report contains many sensible and practical recommendations which could make a real difference to the lives of many children and their families. I have asked the Prime Minister to consider the report carefully, and I await his response on the recommendations.”
