Newsround Special
At least 750,000 children are affected by domestic violence, and in 90% of cases they are in the same or next room when it happens. Many more families keep the problem hidden. This 15-minute Newsround special looks at the issue of domestic abuse and the impact it has on children.
Newsround is television’s only daily current affairs programme specifically made for young people and has been dedicated to bringing children the news for forty years – making the important issues of the day relevant and easily understandable.
Previous Newsround specials, which cover difficult subjects in an accessible and helpful way, include reports on internet safety, autism, bullying and bereavement.
This Newsround Special on Domestic Violence is presented by Barney Harwood and produced by the Newsround team for CBBC. The programme editor is Owenna Griffiths.
