Product Description

Product Description
This work focuses on the children who experience domestic violence and lays guidelines for how best to support and protect them. The book is divided in three parts. Part one describes evidence for the links between domestic violence and the concomitant abuse of children, and assesses the effects of a context of violence on the children's future well-being. Part two is a guide to relevant criminal and civil legislation, including the Children Act 1989 and the Protection from Harassment Act 1997. The third part details practical issues for interventions with children and their carers, and domestic violence perpetrators - the authors highlight the success of multi-agency approaches. Produced by a consortium consisting of the NSPCC, Barnardo's and the University of Bristol, and commissioned by the Department of Health, this reader will enable professionals working with children to develop informed, sophisticated and collaborative child care and protection responses for children who are experiencing domestic violence.

5.0 out of 5 stars Protecting children from domestic violence, 3 Oct 2001
By A Customer
This book gives an excellent overview of the impact of domestic violence on the lives of children and their mothers. It should be a compulsory text for refuge workers, social workers and all professionals working with children caught up in domestic violence situations.
The book is well laid out, clear and accessible, giving up to date research as well as tools for working with families.
As a child protection social worker, I cannot recommend it highly enough. for too long we have under estimated the effects of domestic violence on children. This book is key in raising awareness, and provides a clear guide for their protection.

3.0 out of 5 stars Victims of domestic violence need to know truth, 1 Nov 2008
It is all well and good writing on this problem in society,all the effects are already well known and documaeted but are not heeded in the real world by social workers, and other so called professionals.

Victims of domestic violence, children and parent involved must be told the truth.

Inside the family court, the chances are , the abuser will get contact and even full custody of these already abused children.

51% of mothers who came for help from child protection services have had their children forcibly adopted in UK.

So, the reward for doing the right thing is to loose the children to the abuser or the care system.

Either way, the children are going to be traumatised and fragmented.

All because the child protection industry knows fine well that the abused parent will keep fighting to try and protect the children.

Social workers and court agents will Not help you to get justice.

This is what needs writing about.
