Product Description
Product Description
This volume focuses on first-hand accounts from children and young people regarding their experiences of both domestic violence and the support services. It examines the user's experience of service provision for the victims of domestic violence and it seeks to encourage a more effective and professional approach in the services that offer to support and protect children. The study is based on a three-year research project into child support which began in 1996. It covers topics such as: the types of violence experienced by mothers and witnessed by children; the types of abuse children are subjected to; children's understanding of domestic violence; children's and mothers' views of how best to protect children and their perception of the support services; and the barriers for children and mothers to seeking help. The book assess the role and response of the social services, police, voluntary organizations and the agencies of health, education and housing. It describes approaches to existing problems, emphasizing a child-focused response, and concludes by recommending improvements for policy and practice.

Hurting children
21 Oct 2008
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Very good description of behaviors that are abusive to children, especially non-physical behaviors. One of the most insidious types of domestic violence is mental abuse..............this book gives you insights into its practice. Good for an adult in need of understanding their past or a parent in need of recognizing the dynamics in the home. I wish I had read this in 2004; I would have taken my son and left earlier than I did.
