This is an online event via MS Teams which will explore children as victims in their own right in accordance with The Domestic Abuse Act 2021.

Suzannah Armstrong from the Office of the Police Crime Commissioner Norfolk will open the event with a video – ‘Zuzannah Story’ – a powerful account from Zuzannah about her experience as a child of domestic abuse.

We have speakers from;

Rights to Equality – Leading the movement for family court reform to protect every adult and child affected by domestic abuse.

The CADS Team at Norfolk County Council represented by Lisa Smith who is responsible for the daily delivery of Operation Encompass to school-age children within Norfolk.

Lisa will be speaking about Operation Encompass and the importance of alerting schools and colleges early in the day. Alongside Lisa, three Key Adults/Designated Safeguarding Leads from unique school settings will share how they listen and advocate their feelings and wishes. All three are Domestic Champions from primary, secondary, and special schools, offering insight into how divergent this work can be.
