Domestic Abuse
-
Dear partners,
As I’m sure you are aware, domestic abuse is of increasing concern during the lockdown period of the current coronavirus crisis.
There has been lot of information circulated or so from a variety of agencies. We have tried to collate that local information in one place for ease of reference and so that we can keep you informed of all the most up to date information, advice and resources.
We have created a dedicated page on our existing website to host this information: https://www.hants.gov.uk/socialcareandhealth/hantsdomesticabuse/information-and-updates
And links to this page have also been placed in a banner at the top of our usual homepage(https://www.hants.gov.uk/socialcareandhealth/domesticabuse), the pages for victims and perpetrators of abuse and also the professionals (HDAP) web page.

Training is available now for practitioners to learn more about parental conflict, the impact on children and how we can support families to develop more helpful conflict behaviours. Powerful videos highlight the damaging impact parental conflict can have on children at: seeitdifferently.org/
There are free courses for parents called "arguing better". This focuses on how we communicate and developing healthier conflict behaviours. Find them at Parent guide for England (oneplusone.org.uk)
There is also a vast range of information and support available on the Family Lives website that is useful for signposting to learners facing family/parenting issues: Parenting and Family Support - Family Lives (Parentline Plus) | Family Lives
