A 14-year-old girl who contacted Childline described how her parents' arguments escalated to physical violence during Christmas, leaving her frightened and unable to sleep.
Shaun Friel, Childline director, highlighted that Christmas, usually a joyful time for children, can often exacerbate domestic issues, increasing the risk of abuse.
The NSPCC has observed a concerning trend with rising domestic abuse reports, urging continued vigilance during the holiday season and ensuring support services remain accessible.
The Childline service provides critical support to children throughout the festive period, emphasizing their commitment to prevent children from suffering in silence.
