The topic of domestic violence is an emotive one conjuring visions of child abuse by parents or carers, or marital violence, in general abuse by men of their wives or partners.<\/p>\n

This is particularly concerning since the NSPCC suggests that, for every child who has been identified, there are 8 other children who are at risk but who are \u2018under the radar\u2019.<\/p>\n
