Title: Putting children in the picture: improving responses to domestic violence in the emergency department

Description: This paper documents a project that improved identification and responses to domestic violence in an Emergency Department within an Area Health Service. This paper outlines the key elements of the project as part of the dissemination of the findings and also in order for other health services to be able to replicate the successful improvements in practice. It is clear from this project that the Emergency Department can act as a critical gateway to services for women and children living with domestic violence.
