Domestic Violence Homicide Protocol 

LCADV provides a recommended protocol and accompanying toolkit for responding to children exposed to domestic homicides. This protocol is intended for use by first responders and allied professionals who work in the field of domestic violence. It gives a step by step guide to responding to children who have been affected by domestic violence deaths, whether or not they were on scene at the incident. The protocol walks through a process in chronological order from the time of the incident to the time of a child reintegrating at school.
