In April 2022, the Mayor published the outcome of ground-breaking research into Child and Adolescent to Parent Violence and Abuse (CAPVA) in London. Our research highlighted the difficulties in measuring CAPVA due to underreporting because of the persistent shame, stigma and fear of criminalisation attached to this form of domestic abuse. The research found a continued misconception across society that CAPVA is symptomatic of parental failure, and a misunderstanding of the distinct dynamics of CAPVA as a form of domestic abuse.
The research includes 10 key recommendations to improve the identification and response to CAPVA in London. This included recommendations for practitioners working with families, the VRU and national policy makers.
