Your Questions Answered - Domestic Violence and Abuse
Domestic abuse includes violence against a partner, violence within the family and violence from or against a former partner.
This type of violence can take many forms and can happen once every so often or on a regular basis. Although every situation is unique, there are common factors that link the experience of an abusive relationship. Acknowledging these factors is an important step in preventing and stopping the violence.
The information disclosed in this section is part of a campaign, involving Women's Aid Federation of England, to develop good practice and protocols for responding to domestic violence in a health care setting. Further training and information about domestic violence and its effects on women and children can be gained from your local Women's Aid group or by visiting the website: www.womensaid.org.uk.
