This paper brings together evidence about the best interventions which make a positive difference to the lives of children exposed to family violence.
The main highlight of this paper is that the harm caused by family violence exposure is just as harmful as the harm caused by direct abuse. ‘Exposure’ to family violence is damaging no matter whether the child sees, hears, is directly involved, or experiences the aftermath of violence in their family.
This research aims to be useful for those people who develop policy or run support services for these children to keep themselves safe. Superu’s ‘What Works’ synthesis products answer complex questions on specific social issues and add to the evidence-base. (From the website). The video link provides an overview of the paper from the seminar held on 25 August 2017. Presenters: Bridget Burmester, Julia Hennessey, Dr Ainsleigh Cribb-Su'a and Panel discussion, with three speakers and Dr Siale Foliaki. Record #5457
