A new resource designed to help youth workers tackle intimate partner abuse among young people has been launched today by the National Youth Agency (NYA), in partnership with Refuge and Tender.

The guidance, aimed at practitioners working with 16- to 25-year-olds, addresses a growing concern that abuse in young people’s relationships is often overlooked or misunderstood. It seeks to challenge misconceptions, amplify the voices of survivors, and provide practical tools for early intervention.
