Children (aged under 16) and young people (aged 16 to 18) can experience domestic violence and abuse:
- when they are affected by it; this includes fearing, hearing or seeing it within their families, or worrying about its effects on someone else
- within their own intimate relationships. Young people may also perpetrate domestic violence and abuse in their own intimate relationships and on their parents or carers.
