Domestic Abuse Policy
14 Domestic abuse and children
Domestic abuse affects the whole family, and it can have a serious impact on children. The Domestic Abuse Act 2021 recognises children as victims and survivors in their own right. As a housing provider we have a duty of care to any children we identify as being at risk of harm from Domestic Abuse and will make the necessary referrals for support for the children as well as their parents.
We will record the voice of the child where possible and feed this into our casework and partnership arrangements.
