| Children’s experiences of domestic violence: developing an integrated response from police and child protection services. |
| Summary: Presents findings from a UK study examining police notifications of incidents of domestic violence (DV) to child protection services. Examines the interface between the police and child protection services in responding to 251 DV incidents involving children. Social workers reported that notifications conveyed little information on children’s experiences of the incidents. The study identifies a range of innovative approaches for improving the co-ordination of police and child protective services in relation to children’s exposure to DV.
