  2. What is Domestic Abuse? Domestic Abuse – or Domestic Violence as it is also known, might suggest two adults in a relationship, one abusing the other. But the term goes much wider than that. It can happen to anyone, regardless of age, class, race, religion, gender or intelligence.
  3. True Love? The thrill of a relationship… meeting someone you really like and dating them for the first time. It should be amazing and exciting. But according to the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (NSPCC), growing numbers of young people are finding themselves in abusive relationships.
