How can services protect children in violent homes?
How best can children be protected in households where domestic abuse is rife? It seems a simple question, but it isn’t, and that’s because the fate of children is inextricably linked with that of the victim, usually their mother. How services view and interact with her matters as much, and sometimes more than, whether they specifically engage with at-risk children in the family, says Davina James-Hanman, director of Against Violence and Abuse.
