N2  - This article presents a summary of a draft review of international literature on children who witness domestic violence. The full review is being completed as part of a New Zealand exploratory qualitative study that is investigating children and their mother's views of domestic violence interventions.This article discusses how parents do not always recognise the impact that witnessing violence has on their children and how traumatic this can be. The authors highlight that by seeing and hearing the abuse as it is happening, children are directly involved in the violence. Witnessing abuse can also lead to children trying to intervene in the abuse, and children are also involved in, and affected by, what happens after the violent event has occurred. The article also draws attention to the connection between intimate partner abuse and child abuse and neglect. Two qualitative studies are briefly discussed in relation to understanding children's experiences of domestic violence and the coping strategies they use. The authors conclude that there needs to be a continued effort to ensure that children's voices are heard, and that children are provided with child-centred interventions
