The work, which will be undertaken by charity Victim Support, is being funded as part of the National Prospectus Grants Programme, a £120m DfE scheme designed to boost services for early years, safeguarding and the care system.
Victim Support will establish services to educate young people about domestic abuse and help them identify whether they are a victim at four pilot sites in Ealing, West London; Norfolk; Newcastle and Northumberland, and Warwickshire.
The aim is to work with a total of 15,000 children and young people, and provide support for 1,200 identified as being at high risk of harm.
The projects, which are currently being set up, will take referrals in each area from June and are aiming to reach the most marginalised groups including black and ethnic minority children and those with disabilities.
