Changing the Narrative of Domestic Abuse: An Educational Programme for Secondary School Students
ESRC Impact Acceleration Account Case Study
This pioneering project translates research into real-world impact by equipping secondary schools with evidence-based resources to challenge harmful narratives around domestic abuse. Developed through collaboration between researchers, educators, policymakers, practitioners and people with lived experience, it helps young people develop the knowledge and confidence to recognise abuse, challenge stereotypes and contribute to positive cultural change.
Aligned with Leeds Institute for Societal Futures' mission, the project brings together diverse partners to address a complex societal challenge, creating lasting impact through education, prevention and community engagement.
Dr Rebecca Shaw, Lecturer in Law, University of Leeds, discusses her work with young people, schools and policy makers.
