Breaking the cycle of domestic abuse and giving babies the best start
Driving system change
We inspire progress in policy and practice by sharing our pioneering learning and resources.Â
We promote intergenerational intervention during the precious time when babiesâ brains are developing and parents are motivated to break cycles of domestic abuse and related adversities.
1 in 5
Around 1 in 5 children in the UK experience domestic abuse, often when still in the womb.
1001 days
Exposure to domestic abuse in the first 1001 days of life affects a childâs IQ, emotional & physical development.
The risk
Children exposed to domestic abuse are more likely to experience abuse or be abusive as adults.
