This free training aims to raise awareness of domestic abuse and workplace issues, thus offering those who experience gender-based violence, a safer, more supportive and better response in their workplace.

The training gives further knowledge of the effects of domestic abuse on victims and how that can impact on their work. It will also give guidance on developing appropriate policies and procedures and implementing them effectively.

Aimed at all staff to raise awareness of these important issues, but particularly:

• Line managers
• Human Resources staff
• Employee Assistance Programmes
• Union representatives
• Anyone who has an interest in being the first point of contact for support in the workplace and may be identified as a Workplace Champion.

This training has been developed by Women's Aid working in partnership with Bristol City Council, Public Health and Bristol Zero Tolerance.

We are also running this course in November, if you are unable to attend the September course: https://www.voscur.org/calender/event/domestic-abuse-its-your-business2
