Petition Require employers to have a domestic violence policy to support employees

All companies should be required to have a clear policy on how to support employees suffering from domestic abuse. This should include protections for time off and ensuring they feel believed, rather than made to feel like they are just not motivated to attend work. They should feel safe at work.

More details

A policy on how to support employees suffering from domestic abuse should include:

- a safe place for colleagues to feel at ease or talk about their experiences
- up to date information or referrals for employees to organisations that can help them
- a process for safety measures to be put into place at work.
- flexible start and finish times
- allowing colleagues to have time off to attend appointments.
- training for staff to spot the signs of abuse and to respond/refer individuals
