AVA has a long-standing record of working with children and young people on how they are affected by gender-based violence, leading the way in recognising them as victims of domestic abuse in their own right. We champion children and young people’s equal participation in developing and delivering services and support, and have developed a best practice toolkit around this called Safe and Equal.

In November 2019 we held a seminar to explore issues relating to children and young people and gender-based violence. This briefing collates the information provided in the seminar.

It is produced by funding from London Councils for the Ascent Support Services to Organisations project.
