Adolescent Intimate Partner Violence & Abuse - 3hr Training

 

During 2013 the definition of domestic abuse changed to include young people aged 16-17 years old. The change in definition gave young people the right to access domestic abuse services, previously only available to those aged 18 or older.  Again in 2021 legislitaive changes saw children recognised as victims of domestic abuse. This change meant that young people during a transitional age now have access to domestic abuse services and are recognised as victims.  However the legislation did not take into consideration children under 16 in abusive relationships and rely on children services and youth justice to manage the dynamic.  Our training supports professionals working with young people who are in abusive relationships to assess and manage risk and safety planning.
