Supporting Children and Young People Affected by Domestic Abuse in Wales: A Multiagency Perspective on Existing Responses in the School System
Nia Carr-Jones; Gemma Ellis
Educational Psychology in Practice, v40 n4 p415-434 2024
Children and young people (CYP) who experience domestic abuse are at greater risk of negative outcomes in adult life. In Wales, an emphasis is placed on a multiagency response to domestic abuse, and there is growing interest in the role of schools in prevention and intervention. A mixed-methods design was adopted to explore the views of professionals on the current response to domestic abuse. Questionnaires were completed by 36 schools in Wales, and a series of focus groups was held with CYP workers from specialist domestic abuse settings and from school and social work staff. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics and reflexive thematic analysis. Four overarching themes were developed. Findings illustrate that, whilst there are a variety of interventions and support available for CYP who have experienced domestic abuse, an effective response is impacted by the systems in place to respond to it. It is argued that current practice needs to be more radical if meaningful change is to take place for CYP and their families. Implications for practice are discussed, including the role of the educational psychologist (EP).
