💨 Abstract

With summer holidays approaching, parents often need to leave children home alone. In England, there's no specific age limit for leaving children unsupervised, but it's illegal if it puts them at risk. The NSPCC advises children under 12 are usually not mature enough to be left alone for long periods, and those under 16 should not be left overnight. Parents should consider their child's maturity, prepare them for emergencies, and ensure they have necessary contact information.
