Domestic abuse workplace awareness training supported by Good Work Pledge

Participants attending the taster days for our Demystifying Domestic Abuse: Workplace Training in Autumn 2022 told us:

• “Gave me more confidence to have those conversations.”

• “I want to reiterate how fantastic it was to experience the training you have developed as a participant (and a survivor).”

• “Broadened the context in which I understand domestic abuse”

• “Films were very powerful backed up by quality resources”

Domestic abuse is a duty of care matter for businesses of all sizes: 1 in 3 women and 1 in 7 men are affected by domestic abuse in their lifetime.

Of those affected, a staggering 58% are known to miss up to 3 days of work per month due to their experience. Your staff and colleagues will be no exception.

75% of those affected by domestic abuse experience controlling behaviours such as stalking and surveillance whilst at work.

Would you know what to do if you learned that a colleague was experiencing domestic abuse?

To widen the breadth of professionals and organisations empowered to identify, empathise with and support affected colleagues, clients, friends, or family, Changing Relations, the Good Work Pledge and Quorum Business Park have scheduled a taster day for businesses across the North East.

The Good Work Pledge is a zero-cost scheme by North of Tyne Combined Authority that recognises good employers and helps others make improvements by use of their simple framework. The Good Work Pledge aims to drive up the standard of work in our region and increase the level of good work available to everyone.

Places are just £125 per person including lunch and 2 resource books to take away.

The day will run from 9.30am - 5pm at Q11, Quorum Park, Benton Lane, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE12 8BU

Check your availability - or that of your HR Leads and People Managers - and book your space!
