Behind Closed Doors: Domestic abuse awareness session

The Elmbridge Community & Safety Partnership would like to invite you to a free event aimed at local businesses and their employees to raise awareness of domestic abuse and guidance for their place of work.

This event aims to:
  • Show what abuse looks like, how it manifests in the workplace and how employers can support their staff who are victims of abuse
  • To put an end to secondary victimisation in the workplace
  • To remove myths and stereotypes that exist around victims of abuse

Many victims of domestic abuse see the workplace as a safe haven that helps them keep a sense of normality. However, some can still be targeted in their place of work and it’s well known that victims may hide their reality from colleagues and employers as they are ashamed or worried that they may be seen as a problem.

Date: 22 June 2017
Time: 1pm – 4pm
Venue: Civic Centre, High Street, Esher, Surrey, KT10 9SD
