Domestic Abuse
Domestic Abuse
Domestic abuse is one of the most common adult issues affecting children, is often linked with substance misuse and mental ill health and can seriously impact all areas of children's health, safety, wellbeing and achievement.
Professionals must follow the CESCP Policy to identify, protect and support children and young people and those who care for them. We work closely with the Cheshire East Domestic and Sexual Violence Partnership to keep children and families safe. Domestic abuse tools and resources can be found on the Livewell website.
Safeguarding decisions about domestic abuse should be made on the same basis as with every other case by contacting the Cheshire East Consultation Service (ChECS). Telephone 0300 123 5012 (option 3) or visit Cheshire East Consultation Service for more information
