Would you recognise the signs of domestic abuse in your employees?

75% of domestic abuse victims are targeted at work.

Workplace domestic abuse, spot the signs.

A workplace safety plan sets out specific actions that will be taken to help keep the workplace and all workers safe from threats of domestic abuse. You may wish to combine your violence and domestic abuse workplace safety plans into one. 

The contents of your workplace safety plan will depend on various factors including the size, type, and location of the workplace, the number of employees, and whether you are aware of any threats made against them. 

A personal safety plan is designed to keep a specific employee who is experiencing domestic abuse, safe while at work. A personal safety plan will depend on the individual’s specific situation.  Preferably it is developed in consultation with the employee and tailored to her/his self-identified needs, keeping the overall safety of the workplace in mind.

TedX Speaker Andrew Pain talks to Robert

Bridging the Gap is a global project, aiming to change the written and verbal language that we all use, to discuss domestic abuse. 

We hope to bring people together, who support the idea, that no Individual sufferer, survivor or perpetrator of domestic abuse, should receive preferential treatment, simply because of their gender.

We believe that all victims, deserve to be equally recognised and supported, regardless of their gender, ability, sexuality, ethnicity, religion or social and workplace position.

As a former Royal Military Policeman with almost thirteen years of service, I never believed that I could become the victim of domestic abuse. However, I've since learned, through my own experiences, that ANYONE can become a victim of this terrible crime.

Our aim at DABS, is to help to support and protect employees, (regardless of gender, sexual orientation or ethnic background) and the businesses that they work for, against the very real threat, of domestic abuse in the workplace.
