Children and Families Experiencing Domestic Violence is the title of a new detailed report commissioned by NSPCC Inform. The research was carried out by a team based at the University of Central Lancashire (UCLan), and investigates how the police and social services respond to difficult situations; a summary version is also available.

Also new from NSPCC Inform is a factsheet on physical punishment in the UK, which outlines legal issues in this area and gives links to the relevant legislation. This is the latest in a series of factsheets covering various child protection issues, which are very useful if you want a quick introduction to a subject with which you are not familiar.
