guidance for policy makers, commissioners and practitioners,
thereby ensuring that the needs of survivors of domestic abuse, and
their children, are considered in whole family approaches to drug
and alcohol treatment.

Prime Minister's announcement of nearly £450 million in support for
'troubled' families, raising concerns about the ability of these
programmes to respond effectively to survivors and perpetrators of
domestic violence, and their children.
