In January we hosted a complex safeguarding event in Manchester in which 37 representatives from local authorities across England attended. Following the success of this event we held a webinar which focused on the topic of domestic violence. The impact of domestic violence on children and young people is a complex issue which requires a multi-agency response and a significant breadth of knowledge and skills for workers to both identify and address.

Doncaster and Newham were in conversation about their journeys in targeting domestic violence. They will highlight some of the strategic challenges faced and the need to establish the right local environment.
