    Children's experience of domestic abuse can cause both short and long term cognitive, behavioural and emotional effects, and impact on attachment. Each child will respond differently to the trauma of witnessing domestic abuse depending on a range of factors including, but not limited to, sex, race, culture, age, and stage of development. 

    Domestic abuse is also often seen as an attack on the mother-child relationship and therefore affects attachment and impacts on positive parenting strategies. 

    About the training 

    Join FVAWP and Cedar Plus to explore the impact that domestic abuse can have in the early years. The training aims to provide participants with:

    • The ability to identify indicators of domestic abuse
    • An understanding of the links between domestic abuse and attachment 
    • The knowledge to make explicit links between domestic abuse and the GIRFEC Framework
