Why you should invest in Training about Domestic Abuse?

Domestic abuse is everybody’s business, and this includes employers.

1in 4 women and 1in 6 men will suffer domestic abuse some time in their lives – and yet we think it is something that happens to ‘other people’.

“Everyone at work knew. They must have done. I arrived late, left early, and was constantly checking my phone. He came to my office a few times and demanded to see me. It was so embarrassing; I’d say anything to make him leave. “

  • Sophie*, survivor of domestic abuse –

Domestic abuse is something that will impact almost every workplace. However so few employers have adequate policies or training about domestic abuse.
