MappingChildtoParentViolenceandAbuseSupportServicesinEnglandFinalReportJanuary20161.Introduction1.1 Childtoparentviolenceandabuse

TheRespondingtoChildtoParentViolence(RCPV)studydescribeschildren’sviolenceandabusetoparents(CPVA)as“themosthidden,misunderstoodandstigmatisedformoffamilyviolence.Itinvolvesteenageandyoungergirlsandboyswhousephysical,psychological,emotionalandfinancialabuseovertimetotheextentthatparents/carersliveinfearoftheirchild”(RCPVExecutiveSummary2015).ItisanissueaboutwhichlittlewasknownintheUKuntilthelastfiveyears.
