ABSTRACT The aim of this studyis to raise the concern over impact of child abuse. This is thecommon practice experienced by children at homes which impact education attainment level ofthe child. The study is based on qualitative type of research. It explored the use of positivismphilosophy and inductive approach which helped in proper execution of research. In this researchsecondary data collection methods are used and for analysing the data systematic review isimplied. It has been analysed from the study that child abuse and violence must be treated so thatit does not affect the child development and education. The physical and behavioural changesdue to abuse reduces the learning and educational attainment capabilities of the child. It has been also observed from the study that child abuse can be eliminated by combinedefforts of responsible authorities and education providers. The use of secondary data collectionmethods may not provide the high precision findings instead more generalised conclusions aremade. Also, the lack of study towards specific age group does not provide detailed insight of thebehavioural changes in child due to abusive. From the study it is recommended that child behaviour must be noticed and observed sothat if they are suffering from abuse it can be analysed. The educators and other caregivers mustassure that they develop trustworthy bond with the child and are able to give child requiredemotional and psychological support. Thus, the study will provide a strong base for evaluatingthe condition of child abuse victim and how their condition can be improved.

CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION 1.1 Study background Child abuse is maltreatment of children which can be sexual, psychological or physicalespecially by parents and care taker. There has been rapid increase in the incidents of childabuse and domestic violence (Child abuse statistics UK- From NSPCC. 2019).The childrenstudying in primary schools are not aware of abusive behaviour and therefore the individual isunable to determine wrong a right of the situation (Jung and et.al., 2018). The negative practiceof domestic violence is major cause which is hampering education attainment level amongchildren. There are several forms of domestic violence such as physical, sexual, emotional andpsychological (Savage, Ferguson and Flores, 2017). The abuse affects the emotional and mentalperspective of child which leads to life threatening risk like depression, hopelessness andvulnerability.The emotional imbalance among children is the major cause of restricted growth.The child experiencing abuses undergo pain, emotional trauma, fear, insecurity and anxiety. 1.2 Aim: To analyse the impact of domestic violence on educational growth and development ofchildren.1.3 Objective To review the effects of domestic violence on growth and development of child.

How domestic violence can affect the physical and mental state of child?What is the impact of child abuse on academics? 1
1.5 Rationale for the study Experiencing abusive treatment in the minor age that is when the children are in growthstage can have long lasting effect on the memory of child (Itzin, 2018). This 6 to 12 is the agegroup which is considered as the growing phase of the children where abusive incidents caninfluence mental growth. The major cause of learning disability among children is abusiveexperiences which influence educational attainment of the children. Thus, it is very essential tostudy impact of child abuse in order to develop appropriate framework for eliminating abusivepractices.The quality of life is widely dependent upon the knowledge and education of theindividual in growth stage (Walsh and et.al., 2015). Abusive behaviour with child in learningphase affects their learning capabilities. The motive of this study is to outline factors which encourages abusive practices and howit impacts educational abilities of children. It will also draw the attention of authorities which canassist in making significant changes in educational development process of child (Witt and et.al.,2016).The study is for the purpose of determining impact of child abuse on behaviour ofindividuals. For example, children experiencing physical abuse are vulnerable to surroundingswhich is generally reflected in form of anger or aggressive behaviour. Domestic violence leads toadverse impacts which influences education attainment level of child(Domestic Violence &Children: The Effect on the Learning Environment, 2018). The children who are part of domesticviolence have aggressive attitude towards people and social inclusion. The study will help inoutlining the facts which can be managed in order to improve cognitive behaviour of childrenundergoing abuse. 1.6 Significance and contribution of the study The study is significant because of the sensitivity of topic which comes from Domesticviolence that is child abuse. There are numerous extreme and severe cases of domestic violencesuch forcing child to be a part of unethical situations. Further, threatening child reflectsemotional harm which impact individual ability to react and act upon certain situations.Thestudy will help in deriving ways to provide safe, secure and quality education environment forchildren.The study will also help concerned authorities to take necessary steps against abusivebehaviour towards children. The study is significant as it helps in outlining further researchareas which focuses on preventing child abuses and promoting education. Thus, the study holds2
the significant place for gaining the attention of education providers, social reformers andauthorities framing policies for national and child welfare (Aratani and Cooper, 2015).1.7 Structure of dissertation For accomplishing the research systematically, a well-defined structure is followed sothat every research aspect can be analysed properly.

It will discuss the significance of child abuse and its effect on educational attainment. Chapter 2 Literature review: Second chapter is literature review which will provide to highlightviews of different authors and scholars over research topic in order to develop criticalunderstanding over research aim, objectives and question. Chapter 3 Research methodology: This chapter will include the description of the variousresearch methodologies which are used for conducting systematic research like philosophy, datacollection and analysis tools, research approach, etc. Chapter 4 Data Analysis: The fourth chapter analyses and interprets the data obtained from theresearch methods so that results can be concluded. Thus, it provides the discussion of theresearch findings. Chapter 5 Conclusion: In this chapter all the discussion and ideas of research are summarized sothat research outcomes and effectiveness can be evaluated. CHAPTER 2: LITERATURE REVIEW Domestic violence and child abuse According to Itzin, (2018), child abuse and violence can be defined as the assault orabusive act which can result in severe physical damage and emotional harm to the victim child.The abuse can be in the form of physical torture, emotional pain and sexual assault. Apart fromsuffering with these violent incidences’ children can also witness such domestic violence athome, school or any other place which can create adverse impact on the physical and mentalhealth of child (Walsh and et.al., 2015). As per the world health organisation and UKgovernment, domestic violence is becoming one of the most alarming condition because numberof such child abuses is increasing rapidly. These incidences are not only destroying thechildhood of victims but can also influence their future. This type of abusive behaviour at home3
can be conducted by parents, care takers, guardians, family members as well as unknown people.The family members can show physical and emotional abuse to child. As per the studyconducted by Radford and et.al., (2011), in UK one in every five children have faced extrememaltreatment or abuse. The study also described that such children does not describe or reportthe abuse incident to others due to fear. Similarly, as per the reports of by Child abuse statisticsUK- From NSPCC, (2019) in UK around 50000 children are at higher risk of abuse and in every10 days at least 2 children are died due to abuse at homes. (Source: Child abuse statistics UK- From NSPCC, 2019)In the same aspect Straus, Gelles and Steinmetz, (2017) believes that it is very importantthat such children's must be identified and necessary support and care must be provided in orderto protect them from the harmful impact of violence. The children suffering form the domesticabuse must be given proper psychological counselling so that they can share their pain andconcerns. The schools must also have care units which can assist the children with physicalinjuries. The exposure to such incidents at home not only affect the health-related well-being ofthe child but also influences the development process of the child.
