Domestic abuse policy

Employer

12.1 WHBC aims to provide a safe and supportive workplace for all employees, especially those experiencing domestic abuse. We are taking practical steps to build awareness, develop support mechanisms and offer flexibility to employees who are victims of domestic abuse. This includes being able to spot the signs of abuse, knowing how to respond to a disclosure from a member of staff or colleague and signposting to specialist domestic abuse and victims’ organisations.

12.2 We have a network of Domestic Abuse champions that can provide advice and signposting to staff. If we become aware of staff who are experiencing domest abuse we will signpost them to the available services for support.
