Notes:	"This paper examines the literature assessing children's exposure to domestic and family violence, and findings that domestic and family violence can affect children's behaviour, schooling, cognitive development, mental and physical wellbeing, and is the leading cause of homelessness for children. Children who grow up in families where domestic and family violence occur are also more likely to experience other forms of child abuse, such as sexual, physical and emotional abuse/maltreatment. The effects of such multi-victimisation require attention in policy, practice and research. There is relatively little research that examines the best responses to children exposed to domestic and family violence; however, therapeutic responses that work with both mother and child are thought to be beneficial. Responding to children exposed to domestic and family violence should occur alongside primary prevention. Primary prevention should be universally delivered, should help children to become critical of gender norms and violence-supportive attitudes, and equip them with the skills to form healthy and respectful relationships in adulthood."
