Peter Wanless said ministers had “good intentions’ but that in the end, “you’ve got to be judged by the actions” Child poverty has got a whole lot worse. Spending on children has gone up, but increasing amounts of it has gone into the price of failure rather than early intervention and prevention,” he said.

Wanless also attacked social media giants for prioritising profits over people.

Wanless said it felt as though social media firms had been “slow on the uptake’s about misplaced priorities.

He said he’d like to see proper enforcement of the new online safety laws and platforms complying with their own terms and conditions.

Wanless will be replaced by outgoing RSPCA boss Chris Sherwood .
