How would recognizing children as direct victims of domestic violence impact professional responses and interventions?

This assessment involves thinking about a research question and developing amethodological approach which will enable you to answer it. We encourage you to use this assessment to think about the question andmethodological approach that you might use for your MA dissertation.The plan should include:
– A 2000 word review of the existing literature on your topic, with an emphasison research methods and any gaps in the knowledge base 
– The gap can be lots of things – that the data is from an earlier time period; itonly applies to specific place or group of people; that there are questionswhich have not been asked; that law and policy framings have changed.
– Use this to lead into your research question and why it needs answering
– How you are going to answer it – your methodological approach and why it isappropriate
A detailed critical engagement with existing material. This may be theresearch literature, policy documents or other materials. For this you need to discuss your search terms/approach, how you are going to find and select your material and the question/s you want to explore through it.
Try to develop an actual question, rather than just an area of study. So ratherthan ‘Action Plans on VAW and Human Rights’, an actual question would be ‘How far does the Greater London Authority (or a specific country) action planon VAW meet human rights standards?’
• Show how your methodological approach will enable you to answer your question and think about whether it is doable in terms of your skills,resources and time.
