In Birmingham, as in the rest of the UK, there is no specific legal age at which a child can be left home alone. However, the general guideline suggests that children under the age of 16 should not be left unsupervised for extended periods, and those under 12 should not be left alone for long at all. Parents are encouraged to assess their child's maturity and the safety of the environment before making such decisions. Ultimately, it is the parent's responsibility to ensure their child's safety and well-being.
