Types of abuse
Teenage relationship abuse
Young people can experience domestic abuse within their relationships and may not self-identify as victims. Teenage relationship abuse often occurs outside of a domestic setting.
Abuse by family members
Domestic abuse may also be perpetrated by a family member: by children, grandchildren, parents, those with “parental responsibility”, siblings, or extended families including in-laws.
Child to parent abuse
Child-to-parent abuse can involve children (10 years and over), including adult children, and abuse toward siblings, grandparents, aunts, uncles as well as other family members such as those acting as kinship carers.
