We are clear that the impact of domestic abuse on young people, including teenage relationship abuse, needs to be properly recognised and that agencies know how best to respond. it is vital that children who have experienced abuse in a peer to peer relationship receive appropriate support and safeguarding.
In our further response to the Joint Committee, published alongside the introduction of the Domestic Abuse Bill on 3 March 2020, we set out work underway across Government in this area. This includes excellent progress being made by the Department of Education on preparation for the rollout of new relationship education in schools in September 2020 and the consultation about proposed revisions to the statutory guidance for schools and colleges Keeping Children Safe In Education.
The majority of support services for victims of crime, including for children, are provided or commissioned by Police and Crime Commissioners, through grant funding provided by the Ministry of Justice. In addition, the Designate Domestic Abuse Commissioner has committed to lead a review into the community-based domestic abuse support landscape to better understand the current support provision, including for children.

We will publish our response to the remaining Joint Committee recommendations on the Draft Domestic Abuse Bill, including on whether to undertake a review on how to address domestic abuse in relationships between under-16 year olds, when the Bill is re-introduced. As the Leader of the House of Commons has indicated, we expect this to be ahead of the Easter recess.
Domestic abuse has a devastating impact on children and young people. Growing up in a household of fear and intimidation can impact their health, wellbeing and development, with lasting effects into adulthood. That is why the government has provided £8m over the last two years for services designed to support children affected by domestic abuse, be it perpetrated by parents/guardians or children they’re in a relationship with.
We are fully committed to enacting the landmark Domestic Abuse Bill to transform the response to domestic abuse. A key aim of the Bill is to raise awareness of the impact that domestic abuse can have on children and to ensure they are considered victims in their own right.

On 15 May 2019, I, together with the Minister for Immigration (Caroline Nokes), the Minister of State for Equalities (Baroness Williams of Trafford) and the Parliamentary Under Secretary of State at the Ministry of Justice (Edward Argar) co-hosted a Round Table on migrant women affected by domestic abuse. Representatives from the sector were invited to discuss the issues facing migrant women affected by domestic abuse and the opportunities to tackle these issues.
The Home Secretary and I are committed to continue this engagement with domestic abuse survivors and representatives from the sector, to ensure the Bill and supporting programme of work is effective and achieves our aim to transform the Government’s response to domestic abuse.
