Under the Domestic Abuse Act 2021, children are now seen are victims in their own right. I Am A Survivor Too video is an awareness project about the impact of domestic abuse on children and young people. Children and Young People’s voice and experiences are central to the message being conveyed through the video.
It is for children and young people who may recognise their own experiences, as well as families, educators, support workers, and the wider community. Its aim is to help people understand that children are affected by what happens at home, make them feel heard and believed, and encourage those who need help to reach out. The message for children and young people is that there is available support to help them understand what happened to them and recover from their experiences.
