No honour in abuse: harnessing the health service to end domestic abuse

No honour in abuse: harnessing the health service to end domestic abuse This report  looks at domestic abuse from a health perspective and states NHS England and the Department of Health must play a greater role in tackling what has traditionally been seen as a criminal justice issue. Health professionals need to be given the training and confidence to call out domestic abuse, which has such an enormous mental and physical impact on survivors, perpetrators, and their children. The health service needs to improve its collaboration with third sector support services which can often be better at meeting the need of victims. Centre for Social Justice
