N2  - Relevant to all practitioners and managers working with the Every Child Matters: Change for Children agenda. An amendment to the definition of harm in the United Kingdom Children Act 1989 now includes 'impairment suffered from seeing or hearing the ill treatment of another' (Adoption and Children Act, 2002). This reflects that children living with domestic violence are over-represented among those referred to statutory children and families teams, and represent up to two thirds of cases seen at child protection conferences. However, children's experiences of domestic violence are more than a child protection issue. Research with children suggests it has implications for education, health, welfare, civil and criminal justice.
