More than 100 children a week are contacting the ChildLine helpline with worries about their parents’ drinking or drug use, according to the NSPCC.

It said in the year to March, 5,700 children had called, but founder Esther Rantzen told the BBC there were likely to be many more too afraid to do so.

Two-thirds of those callers had mentioned their parents’ drinking.

The children calling about that issue were also more likely than other child callers to report abuse, it added.

Ms Rantzen said: “These are the children that know our number and ring us, but what about the many, many thousands of children who aren’t, alas, familiar with ChildLine’s work and who might be fearful of ringing us?”

She added: “I am, in a sense, imploring those people who work with children to be alert to the possibility that the silent, friendless child… may have trouble at home created by alcohol and drug problems.”

Recovery in the jobs market will “stall” this year as demand for workers in the public sector falls, new research has warned.

According to the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD), a third of employers expect to cut jobs in the next three months.

The public sector employers in particular are planning cuts, with 36% of them looking to lose staff.

The size of the cuts being considered has also increased, the CIPD said.

Across all sectors employers are expecting to make an average of 5.5% of their workforces redundant, the survey of 600 companies suggests, up from the 3.6% average cut being considered three months ago.

Despite the threat of cuts, the CIPD’s net employment index, which measures the number of companies planning to hire against the number planning to lose staff, is still in positive territory at +two, down from +five three months ago. But the difference between the public and private sectors is stark. For the private sector alone, the index shows strong hiring intentions at +19 while in the public sector, the index gives a reading of -35.

A council has been criticised for its failure to investigate suspicions that two children were being abused by their father.

The public services ombudsman for Wales, Peter Tyndall, said Merthyr Tydfil council’s lack of action meant police did not look into the case. He also said that the authority did not give enough support to the children’s grandparents after they took them in.

The council said it had addressed the issues raised.

Mr Tyndall said concerns were raised that the children – called B and C in his report – were being abused by their father, who had two previous convictions for sex offences against teenage girls. However he said there were “serious shortcomings” because the council did not initiate statutory child protection procedures.
