Police launch operation aimed at supporting children experiencing domestic abuse in Lincolnshire

Children and young people who witness or endure incidents of domestic abuse can be left frightened, confused and conflicted - they might directly witness the abuse, hear the abuse from another room, see injuries or distress in a loved one, or be physically hurt trying to stop the abuse. All of these scenarios can be incredibly distressing for a child.

Following such an incident, children will often arrive at school upset and unprepared.
