NSPCC's Advice on Leaving Your Child Home Alone 

In this website, the NSPCC explains that while there’s no legal minimum age to leave children home alone, it’s only safe when a child is ready so you should assess your child’s maturity, confidence, and understanding of safety measures, set clear rules (phone use, door policy, emergency contacts), ensure the home is hazard-free, do trial periods, and always check in regularly; if in doubt, seek childcare or support via trusted adults or their helpline.
