Learn to Tackle Domestic Abuse

Domestic Abuse cases increased dramatically during lockdown. As employees continue working from home, or as they begin returning to work, make sure your co-workers are equipped to spot the signs of abuse.

Free Domestic Abuse Training

Through specialist training, we provide employers with the skills and knowledge to support staff members experiencing Domestic Abuse. 

Can your staff work safely from home?  For people affected by Domestic Abuse, one of the most dangerous places they can be is their own home.

Employers in the London Borough of Hillingdon and surrounding areas are sending a strong and unmistakable message that all forms of Domestic Abuse are unacceptable. Join these organisations today to create safer places to live, work and visit.
