Losing out on both counts
The links between disability and domestic violence have been under-examined to date, leading to the marginalisation of disabled women affected by domestic violence in theory, politics, and practice. This paper draws on the findings from the first national study in the United Kingdom of the needs of disabled women experiencing domestic violence and of the services available to meet these needs. Utilising the concept of intersectionality to locate …

Who Listens? The Voices of Domestic Violence Survivors in Service Provision in the United Kingdom
This article discusses, in the context of the United Kingdom, service user participation in domestic violence services and how much the voices of domestic violence survivors are heard in policy and service development. If services addressing domestic violence are to continue to develop and to effectively meet abused women's needs, then the views of those using them need to be heeded and acted on. In the UK, these views have been mainly overlooked…
Talking to My Mum
I Have No Beginning and No End‘
Audrey Mullender, Anita Pavlovic and Victoria Staples report on the second stage of a study of abandonment conducted at the University of Warwick in 2002–03. Interviews with ten adults who had been ‘foundlings' revealed a wealth of thoughts and feelings that were often significantly different from those of other adopted people. Abandonment is harder to talk about and perhaps harder to come to terms with than adoption alone. The profound ignorance…

Is Anyone Listening?
Is Anyone Listening
Domestic violence is in the public eye as never before, but how often are abused women consulted or involved in the new services and policies? This book investigates, and reveals that the voices of survivors of domestic violence are often simply not heard; silenced, the women themselves become invisible. Is Anyone Listening? draws on the experiences of other service user movements to provide a strong conceptual framework for thinking about abused…
Children's Perspectives on Domestic Violence

Rethinking Domestic Violence
This book explodes the myths concerning domestic violence and explores how the responses of social workers and probation officers to the people involved need to be far better coordinated and more effective.
How do children understand and cope with domestic violence
Domestic violence frequently has serious impacts on children. This article draws on the findings of a recent study within the ESRC Children 5-16: Growing into the 21st Century Research Programme which examined children's understandings and coping strategies in regards to domestic violence. Far from being passive victims of the violence, children and young people in the study showed themselves to be social actors in their own lives, frequently tak…

Working with violent men from a feminist social work perspective
For two decades feminism has addressed the problem of male violence in inter-personal relationships by working with women. However, men continue to violently abuse women. This article argues that work with men is a legitimate focus for feminist social workers, and male social workers who are prepared to work in pro-feminist ways, and discusses pro-feminist groupwork as a model for bringing about change
I don't know how I would have coped”
It is increasingly required that new developments in care provision be evaluated (Everitt and Hardiker, 1996). An evaluative study of a new, volunteer-based aftercare service, providing short-term support for older people on discharge from hospital, combined the collection of quantitative data with in-depth interviews with a small number of service users, volunteers and hospital-based staff
Domestic violence and social work
An overview of research studies from the 1980s and 1990s reveals social work's poor record in respect of domestic violence. Although widespread and consistent change is still lacking, there are moves in some quarters towards improvements which, taken together, can provide a useful model of good practice. Key policy initiatives include the introduction of guide lines, the collection of relevant statistics, training and interagency liai son. At the…
Children Living with Domestic Violence
Until very recently social work and other child care agencies in Britain have paid little, if any, attention to the impact of domestic violence on children. Audrey Mullender — a pioneer of research in this field — argues the need for a radical improvement in agencies' response to domestic violence, based on a general raising of sensitivity and awareness at both worker and agency level. Among the specific areas for development suggested are an emp…
Disabled people fend a voice
Prenatal attachment is a construct not only intriguing for nurse researchers, but also the object of attention from the lay public and popular media. Promoting prenatal attachment is assumed to have benefits particularly for children. Pregnant women are admonished that development of a successful mother-child relationship begins before birth and is their responsibility. The prenatal attachment research literature was reviewed to determine if the …

This paper examines two developments in the British response to preventing violence aginst women in the home: pro-arrest policies and batterers' programmes.

Nottingham advocacy group
This paper outlines the development and work of Nottingham Advocacy Group, a unique body in the mental health field committed to user empowerment and giving service users a voice. It encompasses three broad forms of advocacy, designed to meet the needs of different groups of people and to operate in somewhat different ways.

Empowerment and oppression
The term 'empowerment' has taken on a cachet in social work practice paper links it firmly with the need to tackle oppression and shows that this which is not matched either by precision or clanty of definition. This value base stressing user-led action is present
Good practice in group care of elderly people
This paper offers an account of the philosophy and practice in one local authority home for elderly people. Over a period of about five years, changes have been introduced which have improved both the quality of life of residents and the job satisfaction of staff. Although still more remains to be done, the developments to date demonstrate how relatively simple this is to achieve, given clarity of purpose and good teamwork

Groupwork as a response to a structural analysis of child abuse
This paper considers an appropriate form of intervention with parents accused of physically abusing their children where structural pressures are seen as the predominant problem. Traditional practice is regarded as too prone to individualised explanations and responses. Groupwork is therefore proposed as the method of choice and, within this, the self‐directed model is shown to offer particular advantages. An account of a particular group is give…
