130,000 children live in homes where there is high-risk domestic abuse
62% of children living with domestic abuse are directly harmed by the perpetrator of the abuse, in addition to the harm caused by witnessing the abuse of others
On average victims at high risk of serious harm or murder live with domestic abuse for 2-3 years before getting help
85% of victims sought help five times on average from professionals in the year before they got effective help to stop the abuse (Safe Lives 2021)
