Domestic Violence
- Women's Aid
The Hideout: a new website for children and young
people
Women’s Aid has developed a new national domestic
violence website for children and young people. The website informs
children and young people about domestic violence, helps them to
identify whether it is happening in their home and signposts them to
additional support and information. It uses interactive checklists,
quizzes and games to help children and young people think through
issues that surround domestic violence. The Hideout’s design also
ensures the site can be accessed safely with functions including a
Hide My Visit button and a downloadable safety plan. The site is
available at:
www.thehideout.org.uk
