Title: ‘Standing on my own two feet’: Disadvantaged Teenagers, Intimate Partner Violence and Coercive Control

Summary: This report from the University of Bristol and the NSPCC represents the first UK research to focus on disadvantaged young people’s experiences of violence and control in their intimate relationships. The study builds on the authors’ previous landmark school-based research (Barter et al 2009) which provided a detailed picture of the incidence and impact of teenage partner violence on the lives of young people. However, as this research was undertaken in schools, young people no longer attending mainstream education, such as teenage mothers or pupils who had been permanently excluded, were omitted. In addition, the experiences of some disadvantaged young people, for example young people living in foster or residential care, were not adequately represented. To overcome these limitations, the NSPCC in association with the University of Bristol conducted the current research project focussing specifically on intimate partner violence in the relationships of English disadvantaged teenagers. The aims of this research were to develop a better understanding of the nature and dynamics of violence in vulnerable teenagers’ intimate relationships; to examine the impact of physical, emotional and sexual violence on young people’s well-being; and to identify appropriate responses. The study set out to explore if some disadvantaged groups experienced greater vulnerability to intimate partner violence than others, and if so, to develop a better understanding regarding the factors that may contribute to this susceptibility. The research aimed to contribute to the development of more appropriate prevention and intervention services for different groups of vulnerable young people.
