Resources for children and young people

Supporting women and babies after domestic abuse

This toolkit for early years equips domestic abuse specialists with appropriate knowledge and skills to support pregnant women and women with babies and toddlers.

It will help domestic abuse workers to build:

• an understanding of the impact of domestic abuse on early parenting;
• an understanding of the impact of domestic abuse on the development of infants and very young children;
• and a model of support that is woman centred and infant centred.
