News/Events Category: General NewsFife Violence Against Women Partnership and Fife Child Protection Commitee have produced new guidance to support understanding of the impact of domestic abuse on children and non-abusing parents/carers when carrying out risk assessments and the importance of keeping a focus on the person perpetrating abuse and any ongoing risk. It promotes a child centred, perpetrator focused and survivor’s strengths approach to working with domestic abuse cases. It is a very practical resource providing risk assessment and safety planning tools, examples of how domestic abuse may impact on wellbeing indicators and current child protection practice.

- Perpetrator’s pattern of coercive control;
- Actions taken by the perpetrator to harm the child;
- Partnering with Survivors - identify their full spectrum of efforts to promote the safety and wellbeing of the child;
- Adverse impact of the perpetrator’s behaviour on the child;
- Role of substance abuse, mental health, culture and other socio-economic factors.
