The All Party Parliamentary Group on Child and Youth Crime (APPG), chaired by Stephen McPartland, Member of Parliament for Stevenage, has launched an inquiry to investigate the cases of domestic violence amongst Britain’s youth. This has seen an increased level in recent years, and the issue must be investigated to help stamp out the problems.

Stephen McPartland MP said, “We have all been shocked by the mindless and violent attacks involving younger and younger people in recent years. The APPG on Child and Youth Crime is determined to investigate the reasons behind these rising levels of domestic violence involving young people.

"The Inquiry will culminate in the publication of a report later this year drawing together all of the evidence received. It is aim is to produce policy recommendations in Parliament that will make a difference, so ensure your voice is heard by submitting your evidence."

The APPG is currently seeking written submissions from key stakeholders and other interested parties on the extent, scale and nature of this problem. We also welcome suggested solutions which might contribute to a change of behaviour and improved safety for young people in their communities.
