This guide provides information for practitioners working with children and families on how to identify and address the risks posed by adolescent to parent violence and abuse (APVA), a hidden form of domestic violence. APVA can also be referred to as adolescent to parent violence’, ‘adolescent violence in the home', 'parent abuse', 'child to parent abuse', 'child to parent violence’, or ‘battered parent syndrome’. The guide attempts to provide a definition of APVA, presents data on prevalence, looks at issues relating to reporting and disclosure, and discusses the challenges facing families who experience it and practitioners who come across it in their work with families. The guide also looks at how the different professions should respond to cases. Individual sections cover health professionals, teachers and education staff, social care professionals, housing staff, the police, and those working in youth justice. Includes a list of therapeutic approaches currently in use in England and Wales to respond to APVA and a list of useful organisations and resources for practitioners. (Edited publisher abstract)
