This domestic violence awareness manual is intended for use by anyone who works with children and young people aged between 7 and 16 years of age. The manual has been designed to enable anyone with a basic knowledge of domestic violence to be able to deliver it. However we do recommend that if you are delivering it for the first time you access domestic violence training before hand and/or co-deliver the pack alongside workers from specialist domestic violence organisations.
