answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/11/2022 answer text <p>Child and adolescent to parent violence and abuse (CAPVA) is a relatively hidden but increasingly recognised form of domestic abuse. This describes abuse from children and young people toward parents or other family members.</p><p>As outlined in the Tackling Domestic Abuse Plan, the Home Office will publish updated guidance for frontline practitioners on CAPVA, working with frontline practitioners including those working in the police, health, education, and social care. This guidance will build on the <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/domestic-abuse-act-2021" target="_blank">Domestic Abuse Act 2021 Statutory Guidance</a>. We intend to publish the CAPVA guidance next year.</p><p>The Home Office will also work with stakeholders to reach an agreed definition and terminology for this type of behaviour. This will underpin policy development on the response to CAPVA, and comprehensive guidance to support practitioners and service commissioners.</p><p>The Home Office are funding a number of projects which aim to work with children and young people displaying abusive behaviours. We have awarded South Yorkshire Police and Crime Commissioner £517,305.26 this financial year to deliver interventions for perpetrators of domestic abuse, including a project for young people.</p> answering member constituency Derbyshire Dales answering member printed Miss Sarah Dines question first answered 02/11/2022 17:38:12 answering member 4816 label Biography information for Miss Sarah Dines
