Social work, domestic violence and child protection : challenging practice Humphreys, Catherine - Bristol, U.K Policy Press - 47 p.

This report explores the problems and opportunities presented for child protection workers responding to child abuse that occurred in the context of violence towards the child(ren)'s mother. This particular aspect of domestic violence intervention is frequently overlooked as issues such as policing, child contact, interagency working and offender programmes have gained precedence in the development of intervention strategies.
