Abstract

This report presents the findings of the ‘Children’s Voices for Change’ project, which applied a children's rights-based approach to understand what constitutes effective supports for children and pre-adolescents aged up to 13 years as victim-survivors of family violence in their own right. The project engaged with children and young people as family violence experts by experience – as research participants and co-researchers – to build a knowledge and evidence base that strengthens understandings of the diversity and distinctiveness of children’s experiences of family violence, and the effectiveness of services in meeting their needs.
