Understand domestic abuse and the impact it is having on your organisation from resources including ready-to-go communications materials, a draft corporate policy, online training and webinars.
At least 15m more cases of domestic violence are predicted around the world this year according to UNFPA research. The UK’s largest domestic abuse charity, Refuge, has reported a 700% increase in calls to its helpline in a single day, while a separate helpline for perpetrators of domestic abuse seeking help to change their behaviour received 25% more calls after the start of the Covid-19 lockdown. The impact on individuals and the organisations they work for will be significant. Employers need to think about the proactive steps they can take to address this issue.
