Reviews'As someone offering interventions to men who have perpetrated domestic violence, I welcome this book and its commitment to promoting properly resourced, coordinated multi-agency disciplinary work in this complex area. Using international examples, it provides an up-to-date review of the evidence base in relation to how domestic violence impacts on children, the systems needed to protect women and children, plus approaches to working with male perpetrators. A core message from this useful book is that good practice needs to take seriously, and seek to increase, the safety of women (mostly) and children living with domestic violence, respond to their separate needs and also address the perpetrator's violence. Insights are also provided into the wide diversity of violence within families and the importance of careful assessments and interventions.' - Professional Social Work'Humphreys and Stanley have here produced an authoritative multi-faceted and challenging work... It has much to offer both practitioners and managers who grapple with the complex arena of domestic violence and child protection, providing both theoretical grounding and applicable practice advice. The introduction is a must, setting out the contemporary landscape in which these issues are addressed and reminding us that our minimum requirement is not merely to 'do no harm' but actively to increase safety and accountability. What follows is a sequence of recommendations from multi-agency practice, adult and child survivor experience and engagement with perpetrators'., This book provides an excellent overview of the subject and achieves its aims of linking the two discourses into an integrated picture., This book reminds us of the pervasiveness and complexity 0f the problem of domestic violence and child protection both nationally and internationally. It brings together perspectives from practitioners and researchers and tackles the difficult question of how to respond simultaneously to the needs of adults (primarily women) experiencing domestic violence as well as those of their children... This book makes an important contribution to many areas of professional practice and deserves to be widely read by those working in, or students of, social work, youth work, health and social care, education, the police and other front line services, the family courts and so on., Thirteen contributions from international academics and practitioners offer practical guidance for those working with children living with domestic violence. The first two chapters provide an overview of the relationship between domestic violence and child protection services, primarily in the UK. Other topics include (for example) prevention programs, perpetrator assessment, an the use of research to develop practice in child protection and child care.

SynopsisHow do you respond simultaneously to the needs of adults experiencing domestic violence and the specific needs of their children? Domestic Violence and Child Protection explores the challenges of working effectively in this complex field and offers positive models for practice.Leading practitioners and researchers outline the essential safety considerations for children, adult victims and child protection workers, and stress the importance of children's experiences, using children's own words to describe their diverse needs. The contributors offer examples of good practice in prevention, intervention and recovery, drawn from international settings. They highlight new directions for policy and practice, and consider whether these might be achieved through increased communication and coordination between agencies, or by developing multiprofessional agencies that are able to offer integrated responses. Individual chapters address child abduction, legal issues concerning child contact arrangements, and dealing with abuse in the context of divorce. Including perspectives from social services, health services and the voluntary sector, this book is a valuable source of information and ideas on how to work safely and sensitively with children living with domestic violence and will be a key reference for social workers, health professionals and policy makers., How do you respond simultaneously to the needs of adults experiencing domestic violence and the specific needs of their children?
