School children as young as five are to be taught about domestic
violence and safe relationships as part of the statutory personal,
social, health and economic (PSHE) education curriculum.
It is hoped that by teaching children from a young age about
personal safety, the number of domestic violence perpetrators will
fall. According to the British Crime Survey, approximately one
million women are victims of domestic violence each year in the
UK.
