Abstract

In this chapter, we critically discuss the domestic violence and abuse (DVA) evidence base for children whereby what we currently know about intervention effectiveness is inconclusive, largely informed by adult's voices and focused on quantitative outcomes which overlook the lived experiences of children. In this chapter, we draw upon recent qualitative research with children aged 7–12 years about their experiences of DVA interventions. Children's accounts reflect how they negotiate agency and power in adversity, in their recoveries and in research interviews. We also highlight that a reliance on limited outcome measures can constrain how children articulate their recovery. This chapter discusses how academics, practitioners and intervention stakeholders can begin to prioritise centralising children's voices and inclusion in research, evaluation and service development.
