We asking the Government to implement a Child Domestic Abuse Law.
We are asking the Government to implement a Child Domestic Abuse Law, which will be specific to child victims affected. Giving them better rights and putting their voices at the centre.
A law we hope will protect them from the implementation of harmful contact orders of which they have no say in.
We are calling on the government to implement a Child Domestic Abuse Law. A law that we believe will uphold the voices and create better rights for children and young people affected by Domestic Abuse and allow child survivors (who are now adults) the rights to take perpetrators of abuse to court for the harm caused to their mental and physical health.
1.8 million children are affected by domestic abuse in the UK and 1 in 3 will have a mental illness as a result.
