Impact of Domestic Abuse on Children
Domestic abuse can impact children both directly and indirectly. It is important for professionals and volunteers working with families to recognise the signs and respond to concerns to protect children and families effectively. The NSPCC have developed a number of resources to support learning including:
- Understanding domestic abuse – Insight Videos
- Domestic Abuse in pregnancy – Insight Video
- Male experiences of domestic abuse – podcast
- Protecting babies from the effects of domestic abuse – podcast
- Learning from Case Reviews where domestic abuse is a key feature – briefing
- Why domestic abuse is broader than domestic violence – blog
If you haven’t yet read the Domestic Abuse Commissioner Report – Victims in their Own Right, published in April 2025, it is recommended that you do.

Reminder – Contact with Local Authority – Children’s Social Care
This is a reminder that professionals wishing to make a safeguarding referral, request for information or services, or a notification should contact LBR Children’s Services direct using the on-line portal (link below):
Please do not send referrals, copies, or information sharing requests to the Redbridge Safeguarding Children Partnership (RSCP), which is a multi-agency strategic body that doesn’t commission nor deliver services, or hold case records. Any case work communication with the RSCP outside of Child Safeguarding Practice Reviews (CSPRs) could represent a data breach and will also potentially cause a delay in response.
