520			_aThis thesis investigates the low attendance at protected persons' programmes and investigates how the information exchange fails to achieve greater numbers of participants on Family Court-funded programmes. The focus of this study is on the low number of requests made by women in order to attend domestic violence education programmes under s29(1)(a) of the Domestic Violence Act (1995). The author examines the exchange of information between some Family Court clients and the associated Family Court practitioners when protection orders are obtained. Data collected is both qualitative and quantitative. The qualitative data comprised of in-depth interviews with 5 protected persons and 10 practitioners connected to the Family Court through their work with victims of domestic violence. The quantitative data was gained through a survey of 22 Family Court coordinators. Both the interviews and the survey were designed to trace the processes used in exchanging significant information about the programmes, and to identify the successful methods of engaging more women in programmes. The findings of the research highlight the gap between the Family Court's provision of specialised services for abused women and the utilisation of those resources. The promotion of programmes has developed in an ad hoc manner that is reliant on the drive and commitment of key Family Court personnel. The author concludes that the reason so few women who experience intimate partner abuse request attendance at protected programmes is because of the gap between their public and private lives. Finally, women in violent domestic relationships are isolated from the supports that can assist them to move away from their situations.--AUTHOR'S ABSTRACT
