Childhood Domestic Violence & Abuse
Notice Me – Think About Me – Ask About Me
This project was created to enhance our understanding of the impact of domestic violence and abuse on the very young (children aged 0-5 years old) including pregnancy . This project contains two resources in one:
- An animation, which raises awareness of the impact of domestic violence and abuse on the young child, from pregnancy to preschool.
- An accompanying document that offers some accessible information for professionals responding to the needs of children and families. Download for professional printing.
Domestic violence and abuse is one of the most difficult situations parents and children face. There is support out there for children, young people and families.
Every year Barnardos works with hundreds of children impacted by domestic violence and abuse in their homes. To date their voices remain absent from the public debate and discussion. In collaboration with domestic abuse services around Ireland, Barnardos asked children to share, in their words, what domestic violence was to them.
