Statistically, all schools and academies will have children on roll who are living with domestic abuse. In the UK, 1 in 5 children are living with and are exposed to domestic violence and abuse.
Children living in such situations face risks to their safety, education, emotional health, wellbeing and development. Witnessing any form of domestic abuse can seriously harm children and young people, this is recognised as a form of child abuse. Whilst the impact and risks vary, all are a cause for concern.
This course will ensure staff in schools and academies can recognise the risk factors associated with domestic abuse and gain the skills to implement protective factors to safeguard those at risk.
