The PEACH Study: Preventing Domestic Abuse for Children and Young People - the UK Landscape
1.
2. To discover what was known about
interventions for children and young
people aimed at preventing domestic
abuse
To establish what worked for whom in
what settings
To produce advice on what form future
research might take in England and
Wales.
3. Mixed knowledge review informed by realist principles:
Systematic review of existing peer reviewed and UK
grey literature
Online mapping survey with a sample of 18 local
authorities across 4 nations
Consultation with key stakeholders: nine expert group
meetings (media, education, young people) and 16
individual interviews in UK, Australia, New Zealand,
Canada & US
4. Online survey
To organisations and practitioners in 18 local
authority areas in 4 UK countries
LAs selected to represent varying levels of social
deprivation and incidence of domestic abuse.
Distribution assisted by PSHE Association and
Women’s Aid
232 responses
98 reported programmes
5. Yes, knew of recent/current local

8. Lack of sustainability – over half programmes
ran for less than 2 yrs
Length of programmes varied – lack of rationale
for length and dose
Funding short-term & unpredictable

10. Length and structure of programmes varied
Range of common methods: didactic
approaches, group discussion, role-play,
quizzes, DVDs
Young people and experts consulted argued for
the value of drama/theatre and narrative
Authenticity achieved through material that
delivered emotional charge, which was
meaningful to young people and made ‘it real’.
Authenticity enhanced when interventions
delivered by those with relevant expertise or
experience.
11. ‘We had a fire fighter come in school once and talk to us
about fire safety …and he was talking and suddenly…he's
seen so many horrific things that he started like properly
crying and everything in front of us and he was very
embarrassed about it …and, yeah, that changed my opinion
…seeing real emotion.’
(YP Consultation Group 2)
‘It’s like in front of you and then you realise, actually, it doesn’t
happen miles away, you know, it happens here. And it’s so
close to home and it happens to people that you might
know…And so I think drama kind of conveys that a bit more.’
(YP Consultation Group 3)
12. Both celebrities who front media campaigns and
those delivering schools work need to be perceived
as genuine:
‘Because you can tell when someone's like bluffing
it… especially like teachers, especially when they've
been given briefs that they don't know anything about
and they've just been asked to do a presentation,
…so obviously whoever's doing it got to have the
knowledge… makes more impact.’

Percentage
14. External staff offer knowledge and expertise on domestic
abuse
But less likely to have an impact on school culture or
provide continuity
Teachers possess expertise in work with, and have on-going
relationships with children
Some school staff resist
teaching on domestic abuse
as they lack confidence
Need for training and
collaboration in delivery –
45% of programmes delivered
by multi-agency teams
15. Lack of committed funding for interventions has
contributed to short-termism.
Making PSHE and teaching on healthy
relationships compulsory in the English
curriculum would address patchy landscape.
Teachers require training and support to deliver
these programmes – required at the qualifying
and post-qualifying levels.
Interventions for younger, primary school age
children require robust evaluation
Children’s and young people’s perceptions and
experiences should be incorporated into
evaluations
