In recent years, there has been rapid proliferation of services for women and children in situations of domestic violence; however, there are many gaps and inconsistencies in service provision. This research aimed to establish the range and extent of services across the UK for families where there is domestic violence; to identify innovative work and thus develop a framework for good practice.From good intentions to good practice looks at provision and practice across a range of services with regard to:inter-agency working;definitions and guidelines;staff training;safety issues;monitoring and screening;evaluation;funding;·[vbTab]The report provides an extensive framework for good practice in working with families where there is domestic violence and highlights recommendations for policy development.From good intentions to good practice is essential reading for all agencies working with families, particularly, Women's Aid, women's refuges, organisations concerned with children's welfare, social services and perpetrator programmes, as well as policy makers, researchers and anyone interested in issues of domestic violence and family policy.
