Domestic abuse is a pattern of
behaviour that instils fear and is
used by abusers to maintain
control. It includes any pattern of
controlling, bullying, threatening or
violent behaviour towards a partner
or ex-partner including psychological
and emotional abuse (coercive
control).

One in 6 girls reported severe abuse.
 
Abuse in teenage relationships can include the factors already outlined for
adults and may also include sexting, requesting or sharing of images, sharing
of pornography, sexual coercion and grooming.
