METHODOLOGY
Research philosophy :In research, two types of philosophies are generally used which
are the interpretivist research philosophy or the positivist research philosophy. These
two are mostly used in conducting the research but when these two does not fit the
requirement and needs of research, then pragmatist research philosophy is used. The
positivism research philosophy based on experience which is a valid source of
knowledge. This philosophy provides the assumptions which can be perceived as the
variations in the action of people or the relationship among the individuals.

 Research approach : There are two approaches which are used in a research which are inductive
and deductive approach. The deductive research approach is used for providing a
comprehensive understanding of the impact of domestic violence on self-esteem of
children by using empirical data. In this research, the deductive approach will provide
the observations which are needed for making the assumptions in order to address the
objectives of the study. This is done with the help of primary research for preparing a
questionnaire for addressing the issues of this investigation. The second approach is
inductive approach which relies on subjectivity for evaluating the observation

Data Collection Method
 There are two main methods for data collection which are primary and secondary data
collection. The primary data collection is used for collecting the required data of research by
using primary sources such as questionnaire, survey, interview etc. Whereas in secondary
research, the data is gathered mainly from online sources, books, journals, newspapers
articles etc. Primary data collection method is mainly used in this investigation for getting
the feedback from the sample respondents. The sample respondents are provided with
Questionnaire which is considered as an effective and reliable tool. It assist researcher to

the simple and quick approach for identifying the potential respondents of the primary research. For
this study, the taken sampling size is 50 respondents. The selected sampling respondents for the
questionnaire are the family and friends who are currently living in the Wembley. The questionnaire

the raw or collected data properly by processing it in information. Data analysis is useful
fir in interpreting the data for answering the research question. Data analysis process
starts with the data collection then processing and sorting of data. The data presentation
or analytic tool used in this research is thematic analysis. Thematic analysis is one of the
commonly used analysis in the qualitative type of research. As this research is of
qualitative in nature, so the thematic is used as this analysis is focused on pinpointing,
examining, and recording patterns or themes in the collected data. Themes describes the
patterns and phenomenon in all over the data associated with the questions.

which will be produced in the end will be relevant and reliable. The principles of research ethics
which are used in this research report are informed consent, anonymity and confidentiality. The
informed consent provides the understanding of the research objectives to the respondents of
primary research so that the respondents can opt in or out any time during the research. The
anonymity principles states that the detail or information of the participant of the primary
research must not be included in the research or the result of the research. The principle of
confidentiality states that the results of the research can be shared to the stakeholders of the
