We asked DfE what work it was doing to protect children and young people as well as prevent them from becoming perpetrators in the future. DfE told us it was doing a lot work through early interventions of family support which it told us supported 60,000 families across England where there are early signs of domestic abuse. Going forward, DfE told us it is working with MHCLG to continue early intervention work with families including doubling funding through the new children’s social care prevention grant, worth £270 million.66
