What is domestic abuse?
Domestic abuse isn't just physical violence; it includes controlling behaviour, emotional abuse, and financial manipulation between adults in a family or intimate relationship. Children witnessing or hearing this abuse are also considered victims, as it profoundly affects their well-being and development, as highlighted by the NSPCC's alarming rise in helpline calls.
