Financial consequences of domestic abuse

In this episode, Sarah and Lesley speak with Paula McCormack and Darren McGee from the Wallsend Children’s Community and Emma Aggar from University of Sunderland about the work of the Children’s Community and findings from a recent project which uncovered financial consequences of domestic abuse. In this conversation, Paula, Darren and Emma spoke to us about some research they did to explore the Wallsend Children’s Community’s Emergency Response Grants. Within this work, domestic abuse emerged as a key theme in the data and this is the focus of the podcast episode.
