Identifying and responding to domestic abuse and family violence: Implications for the health sector
The Safer Families Centre strives to reflect in all our work the voices of: people with lived experience of domestic abuse and family violence; and health practitioners. This brief draws on global evidence from syntheses of studies about what victim survivors say they expect from health practitioners. We also focus on studies of the barriers health practitioners face, what makes them ready to do the work and how they need to be supported to address domestic abuse.
