Introduction
Domestic violation is really concerning issue in our community that as child abuse and neglect. Every
community has a legal, and ethical obligation to raise the security, permanency, and well-being of
children. Child protective service (CPS) agencies play a vital role, along with statutory law, regarding
the report of child maltreatment that is received. Domestic violence is one of the destructive social
issues that affect every portion of the commonwealth. Studies found that 10 to 20 children are at risk of
experiencing domestic violence. Research also stated that children are at risk for exposure to domestic
violence and also the possibility to be abused and neglected, majority of the research published 30 to 60
percent of children and adults also are facing domestic violence regularly. Safeguard activities will
provide support to promote safeguard and protecting adults and children who are at risk of domestic
violence. The Ann Craft Trust (ACT) works on and trusts that each incapable child and each adult who
are at risk deserve to be dealt with the same criteria of esteem and importance as everybody received.
This organization is playing a huge responsibility to provide training and raise awareness and improve
practice across the UK.

CSP trying to protect children from any detriment that’s why receive ambiguous reports of children.
For example misconduct, sexual abuse, physical abuse, neglect and so on (Burke and Noumair 2015).
It is noticeable that every professional is ordered to report to the CSP and law enforcement if any
suspicious child maltreatment is noticed such as health care-related workers, school teachers and
others. Besides, society-based activities might help to control this domestic violence and child abuse
and concerned citizens might also play an important role in protecting all of these activities and
keeping safe every child and adult are at risk and exposed to domestic violence(Aarons et. All, 2015).
Over the past few years, awareness keep growing about domestic violence and child abuse. Studies
demonstrated that on average 2.3 million victims are exposing domestic violence every year. Other
research has seen that 30 to 60 percent of the victim are experienced domestic violence or child abuse
in their family (Rukiyah et. All, 2021). Many of them are facing domestic violence or child abuse
multiple times. Research is conducted on over 6000 families, 50 percent of men are assaulted by their
wives as a result who abuse of their children because of mental instability. Research has found most of
the children who are victims of domestic violence or child abuse are likely physically harmed.
Children who live with their guardians, parents or caretaker are facing abuse these are commonly
domestic violence. The researcher has found that 70-80 percent of children can state every single
domestic violence event that is happened in the house where the child lives with their parents.
Children’s exposure to domestic violence may comprise being used as a setter. Sometimes have to
participate unwillingly in domestic violence. Most of the time, when parents are irresponsible about
their children even if they don’t care about his/her health or he/she can be mentally affected.
Some children are direct victims of domestic violence and they are also physically harmed. Some
children are often abused by some offenders sexually, intentionally, emotionally, and physically to
control their children (Aarons et. All, 2015). Where this kind of behaviour or conduct toward children
is completely unethical and contradictory to the law.
On the contrary, some children have been harmed accidentally during the domestic violence while
attacks on the victims. Besides, when the older children get assaulted and held into a certain room, so
because of this domestic violence the younger children also get affected mentally (Konina et. All,
2020). Where this is clear child maltreatment.

Children are facing a number of risks due to domestic violence, such as the risk of traumatic issues,
neglect, and direct abuse. Because of domestic violence children, most of the time lose their parents
and they are getting divorced (Rukiyah et. All, 2021). This sort of event is often affected their mental
health as a result these events provide negative outcomes, something this issue never cures. Research
has found some factors frequently that the problems of childhood are attached to exposure to domestic
violence.
While children are getting domestic abuse they have confronted some serious issues such as behavioral,
social and emotional problems this may contain a higher level of aggression, anger, poor peer,
depression, low self-esteem, sibling, disobedience, fear, and anxiety that’s why they are getting affected
these type of diseases, as a result, they can’t shine their life and not even improve their career and
social esteem (Burke and Noumair 2015). Besides all these issues, some sort of serious issues has that
could not be avoided such as lower cognitive function, bad school performance, lack of problem-
solving skills, believe in violence, acceptance tolerance, and limited conflict solving skill (Tang et. All,
2016).
Some unique special problems can be exhibited in any abused children for their physical, social
development, and mental health issue. Sometimes one noticeable thing can occur that children who are
exposed to domestic violence have been difficulty connecting with caretakers and they suffer low self-
esteem problems (Aarons et. All, 2015). There is some partition in this case according to age, it might
be discussed in three segments, children who are preschool stage are suffering from loss of appetite and
sleep disturbance. Similarly, school-aged children may confront some serious problems such as poor
academic performance, unable to make friends, and trauma symptoms (Tomas-Miskin and Vitomir,
2019). Reports show that children who consistently confront domestic violence undergo depression and
low self-esteem problems.
Sometimes it can be observed in children that those children who consistently witness the various form
the violence perceive the guilty cause of domestic violence and they suffer from distress and fatality
(Askeland, 2017). On the other side, while children witness positive interaction between/her parents it
might also positive impact on their children. Some children have the ability to cope with several
situations but there is also some kinds of children who are not able to cope with the circumstance (Tang
et. All, 2016). Respectively, children who have to cope up-skill might get over the domestic violation
nightmare by increasing their age.

A question can be raised how many percentage of people are suffering from mental health issues “at
adult risk”? A study found that people who live in The UK among them 1in 4 people are undergoing
mental health problems every year. Just as our health can be ill, so can our psyche (Tomas-Miskin and
Vitomir, 2019). Mental health is like a liquid that can switch day by day, month by month. With mental
health problems, many people are not getting proper support and service. According to The Care Act
2014, it is obvious that the exploitation of adults is concerned with the situation rather than the people
who are experiencing harm.
Someone will be considered an adult risk when they have needs support and care. And experienced
abuse or neglect or at risk. The Legal Guidance to the Care Act 2014 recognizes 10 classes of harm.
Self-neglect has referred a vulnerable adult's people who are putting/ her health, and safety in danger
including adequate clothing and taking unhygienic food (Konina et. All, 2020). Modern slavery is the
sort of exploitation of people for personal or commercial profit, in a broader sense, this includes sexual
exploitation, organ harvesting, and domestic servitude. Domestic abuse means an adult will be tortured
and incommode by anybody within an individual’s household (Askeland, 2017). It also covers
psychological, physical, and financial abuse.
Most adults may confront discriminator abuse once in their lifetime. It refers to uneven behavior
according to race, disability, gender, marriage, maternity, pregnancy, religion and belief, sex or sexual
orientation (Burke and Noumair 2015). Organizational abuse may refer that people typically being
treated in a cheap way in their workplace or showing neglect and mistreatment practice within an
institution. Physical abuse may describe a person being slapped, kicked, and punched, misuse of
medicine, and inappropriate sanctions.
Sexual abuse is sexual behaviour, rape, sexual harassment, staring in an inappropriate way or touching,
pornography (Askeland, 2017). Some factors indicate an individual is abusing or neglecting these are
change in behavior and routines, may lose or gain his/her weight, living isolated and withdrawn,
looking worried in the presence of people, unusual marks on the body, sudden change in lifestyle.
Always keep in mind that some people who live in our surroundings have risks for themselves. It is a
state of mind that sometimes people try to injure themselves rather than outsiders. It is a humble
responsibility to all of us to keep them supporting not to attempt that will damage them. It is of utmost
necessity to take the best approach for them to improve their state of mind. It would be the first step to

making policy according to their skill, experience, and knowledge (Konina et. All, 2020). They should
be observed by professionals like psychology, doctors etc. Besides, additional training and guidance
would be provided to whom are needed Tomas-Miskin and Vitomir, 2019). However, three types of
training programs are available. Amid introductory level where 3hour continuing professional
development mental health awareness is provided. The intermediate level where 2 days First Aid
Course for mental health. Advanced level for those who are suicide-prone there is 2 days of practical
suicide prevention training.
If we observed the developments in legislation, policy and social care work in the UK, the result of the
development are not satisfying. Data have been shown that from 2016 to 2021 domestic abuse crime
rate has increased by 6% in the UK (Rukiyah et. All, 2021). The rate of the police charge to CPS has
also been decreased as per data 3% rate of charge has fallen. The CPS charging rate for domestic
violation-related crime has been decreased from 76% to 70% at the end of the year. National domestic
abuse activities have been increased by 22% because of the increment severity of being abused (Tang
et. All, 2016). The risk of adult female abuse has also been increasing by43 to 46 out of 10000 adult
women according to the last year’s data.

Conclusion
Domestic violation and child abuse are devastating for any community. To prevent all kinds of
violations and activities of abusing the government side by side some agencies workout hardly.
Domestic violation is now a big social issue. It is increasing day by day and sometimes occurs between
husband and wife not only between them but also can happen between relatives. Domestic violations
can happen in several ways such as sexually, financially, physically, self-neglect, discrimination,
modern slavery and forced labour and so on so forth. The government is trying to improve the situation
but in some cases, there are some lacking in the system that is portrayed above. While a children
witness positive interaction between his/her parents it might also positive impact on their children.
Children who live with their guardians, parents or caretaker are facing abuse these are commonly
domestic violence. Those agencies are working on child abuse and domestic violation they might be
more active with their job because we have seen in the report, day by day the crime rate has been
increasing. Even children who are victims of domestic violation should have to take an appropriate
approach for them so they can get rid of this violation and save them as national assets. If they do not
save in his/her home or where he/she live in, these NGOs or agencies should manage separate habitats
for their better mental and physical health improvement. And might take a step toward their parents or
relation with whom the child lives.
