What does CDASS do?
Children's Domestic Abuse Support Service (CDASS) was established to address the significant gap in support services for children who are victims of domestic abuse. Recognizing that children often suffer in silence, with limited resources to help them cope, CDASS provides tailored, online, and child-centred support.
The service ensures that children and young people who have experienced domestic abuse receive the emotional support, education, and empowerment they need to heal, build resilience, and prevent the long-term effects of abuse.
Accessible from anywhere in the UK, CDASS also offers online impact awareness programmes on the negative impact of domestic abuse for parents, carers, school students, and even the violent abuser. These programmes aim to foster understanding, promote healthier relationships, and encourage positive change.
CDASS is dedicated to creating lasting change by equipping families, schools, and communities with the tools to support children and break the cycle of abuse.
" The type of things we live through as a child have a
big impact on our adult lives. Domestic abuse is one
of the most damaging experiences a man, woman or child can experience in their lifetime. "
