The 1990s has witnessed a resurgence of interest and concern in the
issue of domestic violence. While women are predominantly targets
of this violence, there is now a recognition that children are also
significantly affected by violence towards their mothers. This
report explores the problems and opportunities presented for child
protection workers responding to child abuse that occurred in the
context of violence towards the child(ren)'s mother. This
particular aspect of domestic violence intervention is frequently
overlooked as issues such as policing, child contact, interagency
working and offender programmes have gained precedence in the
development of intervention strategies. The responses of social
services departments to child abuse arising in the context of
domestic violence remain some of the most contentious and
controversial in this area. This report: gives a detailed account
of social work practice in the area of domestic violence, using
many case examples which illustrate the barriers to effective
intervention; looks in particular at the needs of Asian families in
the context of domestic violence and child abuse; recognises the
difficulties of developing sensitive child welfare practice in an
area where there has been a traditional separation of services for
women and services for children; provides good practice examples
for overcoming the traditional difficulties in this area. This
report is important reading for practitioners, policy makers and
managers in social services, and their equivalents in a range of
other agencies involved in child protection. It is also valuable
reading for social work academics and students interested in the
area of domestic violence.
