In The Middle Of It

Sadly children are still not recognised as direct victims of domestic abuse in legislation or even in public address.

The Home Secretary Priti Patel for England and Wales this week said "SO WHERE A VICTIM AND THEIR CHILDREN..." The language used shows only the adult recognised as a victim, the children merely an afterthought.

So we wanted to give you a look behind the frontline to challenge this.

We speak with Joanne McDonnell from the NSPCC.
