Thank you for your enquiry.
Here is the release requested Domestic Abuse in England and Wales: November 2019 which brings together data on domestic abuse from the ONS and a range of other organisations. The different datasets and definitions used are explained fully within the release.
We do not collect information on the effects of exposure to domestic abuse on children. However, we do include information from Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary & Fire and Rescue Services (HMICFRS) on child protection referrals in our Domestic abuse and the criminal justice system, England and Wales: November 2019-Appendix Tables.
