Domestic Violence and Child Protection: Directions for Good Practice

by Cathy Humphreys & Nicky Stanley - £19.99  Jessica Kingsley Publishers (2006)
paperback    ISBN 13: 9781843102762 | ISBN 10: 1843102765

How can we respond simultaneously to the needs of adults experiencing domestic violence and to the specific needs of their children? This book explores the challenges of working effectively in this complex field and offers positive models for practice.
 
Leading international practitioners and researchers outline the essential safety considerations for children, adult victims and child protection workers, and offer examples of good practice in prevention, intervention and recovery. The contributors highlight how female victims of abuse are often blamed for failing to protect their children, and warn against the marginalisation of domestic violence. They suggest new directions for policy an practice, including increased communication between agencies as well as the development of multi-professional agencies offering integrated responses. Individual chapters consider children's views and experiences, legal issues concerning child contact arrangements, post-separation violence and the long term impact of abuse on mother-child relationships.
 
With perspectives from social care, health care and voluntary sectors, this book is a valuable source of guidance on how to work safely with children living with domestic violence, and is a key reference for social workers, health professionals and policy makers.
