24 Hour Domestic Violence Help-line

'Shaping the agenda for children experiencing domestic violence Every Child Matters and the 2004 Children Act have set out the vision for children's services for the next decade. Safety and Justice and the Domestic Violence, Crime and Victims Act 2004, offer positive improvement in responses to domestic violence across Government. “A Vision for Services for Children and Young People affected by Domestic Violence” offers a pathway for services for children experiencing domestic violence which connects the two. It is produced by the LGA, ADSS, Women's Aid and CAFCASS, with input from Refuge, and with professional comments from advisors at the DfES, Department of Health and the Home Office. It offers a template which Directors of Children's Services, Cabinet Members with lead responsibility for children and their local Safeguarding Children's Boards, working with Domestic Violence Partnerships can use to incorporate the needs of children experiencing domestic violence in planning children's services.'
