Interactive Sector Workshop - Understanding and responding to coercive control: A spotlight on children and young people

There is strong evidence on coercive control that highlights the patterns of abuse and their impact on women, including the risk of coercive control in intimate partner homicide. However, there is relatively less evidence – and less focus in the research, policy and practice landscape – on the impact of coercive control on children and young people.

Join us for this online workshop where ANROWS will share evidence from research on the unique experiences of children and young people living with coercive control. Participants will build on the research-based evidence with their practice knowledge and expertise, helping to fill the gaps in how we understand and respond to children living with a parent’s, mostly their fathers and step-fathers, use of coercive control.

Together we’ll develop evidence-informed practice priorities and work in teams to develop a plan to implement what we know into our everyday work with children, young people and their families.
