The National Youth Agency (NYA), Refuge and Tender have launched new guidance to support youth workers to tackle intimate partner abuse amongst 16-to-25-year-olds. The guidance includes: advice on recognising and responding to abuse; information about technology-facilitated and intimate image abuse; insights into intersectionality and tailored support for diverse identities, including people who have disabilities and LGBTQ+ young people; and tools for trauma-informed practice and listening to the voice of the young person.
