The complex field of victims of domestic violence is examined, particularly the challenge of giving equal weight to the needs of both the adult victims of domestic violence and the specific needs of their children. The contributors are international practitioners and researchers with perspectives from the social care, health care and voluntary sectors. Topics covered include essential safety considerations for children, adult victims and child protection workers, and good practice for prevention, intervention and recovery. Suggestions include new directions for policy and practice, increased communication between agencies, and the development of agencies able to offer an integrated response.
