Domestic Abuse Training for Businesses: Join the Business Friends Initiative
Domestic Abuse will be impacting your business. It will not only be affecting your staff, but it will be costing your business money. Reducing the Risk offers Domestic Abuse training to raise your organisations awareness, develop policies and empower your workforce.
When you consider one in five women, and one in seven men, will be affected by domestic abuse in their lifetime, you will likely have staff members who are victims/survivors and their workplace maybe their only safe space.
75% of domestic abuse victims say that the abuse follows them in the workplace, and this affects productivity, sickness and absenteeism. If you are interested to know what Domestic Abuse might be costing your company complete the form at the bottom of the page and we will let you know.
Employers have a responsibility, under their duty of care, to protect their employees’ well being and this includes having a Domestic Abuse policy. Reducing the Risk has two levels of domestic abuse training to support you, DA Aware and TorchBearers.
It’s an uncomfortable subject to deal with, but we are here to support you. Take a look at our training offering and get in touch to find out what you could be saving by implementing a Domestic Abuse Policy and raising awareness within your organisation to help those suffering and enable those who want to support them.
