Floss and the Boss: Helping Children Learn About Domestic Abuse and Coercive Control

Available alongside a professional guidebook (purchased separately), this children’s book offers a comprehensive tool for discussing emotional wellbeing and safety with primary-aged children.

Floss and the Boss is a beautifully illustrated and sensitively written storybook designed to help young children understand domestic abuse and coercive control. The story follows Floss, a happy puppy, whose life changes when her Mum’s new friend, Boss, enters their world.

The book helps children, especially those who have experienced trauma, make sense of their feelings and teaches them to seek help and stay safe.

It supports the ‘Healthy Relationships’ topic in the PSHE curriculum and can be used with individuals, small groups, or entire classes to open dialogue about sensitive issues.
