You and your children

Children's experience of domestic violence

Should I tell anyone else?

Some children find it difficult to concentrate on their school work or develop other behavioural problems at school because of what is happening at home.

It may be helpful to talk to your child's school (e.g. to their teacher and/or head teacher) about your child's experience of domestic violence so that the school can be more understanding of and supportive to your child.

They may also be able to offer some additional help for your child (e.g. they may have a school counsellor). Remind them to keep this information confidential.

Your child/ren may need additional support in dealing with the impact of their experiences of domestic violence and/or abuse. Please read the information on children's support services listed at the top of this section.
