Children are individuals and may respond to witnessing abuse in different ways. These are some of the effects described in a briefing by the Royal College of Psychiatrists (2004).
Abused women are not weak, submissive victims – they are courageous and resourceful. It takes huge strength to live with an abusive partner. Women have to adopt all kinds of coping strategies to survive. Tara K. shares her story: buff.ly/2ZXVHJg
Research published by Cafcass in 2017 analysed 216 child contact cases between April 2015 and March 2016. It found that more than two thirds of the cases involved allegations of domestic abuse, yet in 23% of these cases, unsupervised contact was ordered at the first hearing.
61.7% of women in refuge on the Day to Count 2017 had children with them (Women’s Aid, 2018 – data from Women’s Aid Annual Survey 2017). #DVA #DomesticViolence
