Pathways to Help-Seeking
Research demonstrates a higher prevalence of intimate partner abuse perpetrated against disabled women, than for their majority-population non-disabled peers. Compounding this disadvantage, are disability-specific barriers to help-seeking including the lack of accessible and inclusive domestic violence services. This article entails a presentation of research findings that is twofold. Findings of a survey of domestic violence services are present…

Social Workers Response to Domestic Violence and Abuse during the Covid-19 Pandemic
The rapid global spread of COVID-19 has put increased pressure on health and social service providers, including social workers who continued front line practice throughout the pandemic, engaging with some of the most vulnerable in society often experiencing multiple adversities alongside domestic violence and abuse (DVA).

Children as young as pre-school are experiencing difficulties related to stress, anxiety and inattention which could be supported through the use of mindfulness. However, there is very little research on how to effectively deliver mindfulness approaches within Early Years (EYs) practice. A year-long action research project was conducted with an EYs setting to explore how EYs practitioners can effectively deliver mindfulness, understanding their p…
A voice or a choice? Children’s views on participating in decisions about post-separation contact with domestically abusive fathers
The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child explicitly calls for children to be granted the right to participate in legal proceedings that affect them. Despite this legal obligation and an evolving consensus that recognises children as social and competent actors, this rhetoric has struggled to achieve translation into meaningful practice reality, particularly when decisions are being made about contact arrangements for children wher…
Domestic Violence and the Paradox of Post-Separation Mothering
This paper reports selectively on findings from a mixed-methods study to consider the paradoxical post-separation position many women find themselves occupying when child contact necessitates the continued and mainly unmonitored presence of abusive men in their lives and the lives of their children (Holt, 2011). Having engendered blame and being held responsible for the exposure of their children to domestic abuse, mothers may find themselves res…
The impact of exposure to domestic violence on children and young people
Listen to Me! Children's experiences of domestic violence
This paper reports on a study undertaken in the Republic of Ireland during 2005 and is based on the experiences of children and young people who have lived with domestic violence. The objectives of the study were to explore the impact of domestic violence on children, identify their needs and recommend appropriate interventions to be brokered through a centrally based women's support service. Data were gathered from 70 participants, including 37 …
