The Office of the Domestic Abuse Commissioner is holding a series of webinars following the publication of the policy report on babies, children and young people.

 

These webinars are aimed at policymakers and professionals to understand the overarching/thematic findings in the report and the recommendations that the Commissioner makes, including a call for action to create guidance, invest in specialist services and put in place training for every frontline professional who works with children, to enable child victims of domestic abuse to access the support they need, when they need it.
