(2024) Domestic Abuse (Level 1)
Detail:
A key priority for the statutory partners is to reduce the adverse impact of domestic abuse on children and families. It is a key feature within many child safeguarding practice reviews and there is a high volume of contacts and referrals to children's services.
Children and unborn babies living in households where there is domestic abuse may suffer harm directly or indirectly and domestic abuse is likely to have a damaging impact on their health and development.
