PMA PROFESSIONAL MEMBERS’ WEBINAR
Children as victims of domestic abuse (DA Act 2021 legislation)
Nearly 2 in 3 children (62%) exposed to domestic violence were also directly harmed. Children suffer multiple physical and mental health consequences because of living with domestic violence. Only half of the children were previously known to children’s social services. But 80% were known to at least one public agency. This 1-hour webinar, brought to you by SafeLives, will give an insight into Children as Victims and key learnings from our work to date. Domestic abuse undermines a child’s basic need for safety and security. It can have a serious effect on behaviour, brain development, educational outcomes, relationships and their overall health and well-being. We will discuss the links professionals need to make sure they make the link between the risk to the adult and the risk to the child, and children need to receive specialist domestic violence support, tailored to their needs and linked to the help their parents are getting. We will be sharing learning from our Safe Young lives and Your Best Friend programmes of work.
