Domestic Abuse Resources and Training for Schools in Scotland

Domestic abuse affects many thousands of children, young people and families in Scotland.  In every school several pupils and staff will have personal experience of domestic abuse or will know someone who has.

• With the right kind of support children, young people and adult victims can overcome their experience of domestic abuse.
• Domestic abuse is not inevitable.  The Curriculum for Excellence health and wellbeing experiences and outcomes give a context for schools to work towards the promotion of equal, healthy relationships and the prevention of domestic abuse.
• Children and young people can actively participate in shaping both local and national responses to domestic abuse.
