Abstract
There is lack of research in the United Kingdom (UK) addressing the experiences of pastoral staff working with and supporting Children and Young People (CYP) who are or have been in homes where Domestic Violence and Abuse (DVA) is taking place. The present study sought to explore the experiences of pastoral staff, with a focus on the skills and training pastoral staff may need, in supporting CYP exposed to DVA. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with eight members of staff from different schools in an Eastern region Local Authority (LA). These interviews were analysed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA), which is underpinned by phenomenology, hermeneutics and idiography. Each interviewee shared their experiences, and as a result four superordinate themes were generated. These themes included, multi-faceted pastoral responsibilities, the importance of awareness of safeguarding, understanding the impact of experiencing trauma (e.g., DVA) and interpersonal qualities. These superordinate themes, alongside their subordinate themes, were discussed in relation to relevant theoretical literature and empirical research. Through the analysis of the data, implications for professionals providing effective support for CYP exposed to DVA are discussed.
