This question was answered on 5th January 2015
Domestic violence and abuse is sickening in any context and can have a particularly profound effect on children. The Government’s approach to tackling this appalling crime is laid out in the Violence Against Women and Girls Action Plan, refreshed in March 2014.
The Action Plan sets out our commitment to develop the Troubled Families Programme to help families deal with a range of issues, including domestic violence and abuse.
