While there is a growing body of research in this area, this predominantly focuses on the experiences of young victim-survivors. SafeLives are a survivor-led organisation and seek to centre these perspectives at the heart and start of all we do; however, we also recognise that to better understand domestic abuse we need to include those who are responsible for causing harm in these conversations. This research therefore aims to focus on young people who are using/have used harmful behaviours in their dating/romantic relationships, and is guided by the following three aims: • To explore why and how young people begin to use abusive behaviours in their relationships;
• To better understand what it means to be on the ‘verge of harming’;
• To explore what support for young people who harm should look like. (From the document). Record #7835
