Domestic violence and abuse (DVA) has detrimental effects on the health and well-being of children and young people exposed to it, whether they witness or experience it. The introduction of independent domestic violence advocates in UK hospitals has enhanced the safety of victims of DVA. In 2020-2021 an independent domestic violence advocate post was piloted at a children's hospital for one year, the advocate's role being to train hospital staff and support women who had experienced DVA. A service evaluation showed that the training and support provided by the independent domestic violence advocate had benefits for women, children and staff. It also confirmed that the commissioning of services for children exposed to DVA is often underfunded and overshadowed by the provision of support to adults.
家庭暴力和虐待（DVA）对目睹或经历过这种情况的儿童和青少年的健康和福祉有不利影响。在英国医院引入独立的家庭暴力倡导人提高了家庭暴力受害者的安全性。2020-2021 年，在一家儿童医院试点了为期一年的独立家庭暴力倡导人职位，倡导人的角色是培训医院工作人员并为经历过家庭暴力的妇女提供支持。一项服务评估表明，独立家庭暴力倡导人提供的培训和支持对妇女、儿童和工作人员都有好处。它还证实，为遭受家庭暴力的儿童提供服务的经费往往不足，并且被为成年人提供支持所掩盖。
