Reports on the findings of a qualitative research project which interviewed women, children and workers in women's refuges. Found that a child-centred and non-violent ethos was offering high levels of support to children and young people, despite low levels of resourcing. Certain groups were identified as still requiring developments in particular responses to their needs. Greater recognition of refuge child work is called for from statutory agencies, including those with access to funding.
