Our Never Silence the Violence project presents a drama-documentary that highlights the critical stages and sheds light on the experience of a young person following the reporting of a domestic abuse incident.
We are very proud of our members as they took the lead on every aspect of the Never Silence the Violence project, including having starring roles, script writing, filming, and interviewing professionals such as Dyfed Powys Police, Children’s Services, and CarmDas.

The 15-minute DocuDrama, Never Silence The Violence was officially launched by the County Council’s Director for Education and Children, Owain Lloyd at an event in the Carmarthenshire Business Hub at St Catherine’s Walk on Monday, November 25 following a short walk-through the town for men and boys to show their support organised by Carmarthen Domestic Abuse Services Ltd.
We are very grateful to Carmarthenshire Youth Support Service for funding the docudrama and to everyone involved in the making our idea come alive and all the hard work that was put in to raise awareness for such a pressing issue. We hope that this resource will be shared amongst various organisations to give young people an insight into the support available and what happens when they disclose or report domestic abuse.
