What steps is the government taking to reduce domestic abuse against children?

In the latest episode of Inside Lords Questions, we hear from the Lord Bishop of Newcastle, Helen-Ann Hartley, who recently asked the government what they are doing to reduce domestic abuse against children and prevent such behaviour being learned and repeated by those under 16.

Watch the full question to hear from other Lords members on the topic, and see how the government responded https://orlo.uk/mvo4L

Look out for more episodes of Inside Lords Questions where we’ll speak to different members about the questions they raise to government. Catch up on previous episodes https://orlo.uk/xPQvO
