Children's exposure to domestic and family violence : key issues and responses Monica Campo - Melbourne, Vic. : Child Family Community Australia, Australian Institute of Family Studies, 2015 - electronic document (24 pages); PDF file; 395.7 KB; HTML available - CFCA paper .
CFCA paper, December 2015, no. 36
This paper examines the literature assessing children's exposure to domestic and family violence, and findings that domestic and family violence can affect children's behaviour, schooling, cognitive development, mental and physical wellbeing, and is the leading cause of homelessness for children. Children who grow up in families where domestic and family violence occur are also more likely to experience other forms of child abuse, such as sexual, physical and emotional abuse/maltreatment. The effects of such multi-victimisation require attention in policy, practice and research. (From the website). This paper has been adapted from the literature review for the research report Children Affected by Domestic
and Family Violence, commissioned and funded by the New South Wales Department of Community Service. Record #4924
