About this event
This event will be presented in collaboration with Hollie Gazzard Trust and will provide education on domestic abuse and stalking.
The Hollie Gazzard Trust is a Gloucestershire-based charity that educates businesses to help them be responsible for helping staff suffering domestic abuse and stalking. Including sexual harassment, coercive control and using Hollie Guard for business.
Here are the five key outcomes I’d like members to take away:
1. Recognise the signs of domestic abuse and stalking – including the less obvious indicators that may present in the workplace.
2. Raise awareness of employer responsibilities under UK legislation and CIPD guidance – from safeguarding and reasonable adjustments to supporting affected employees.
3. Develop survivor-centred policies – practical ways to create and implement domestic abuse policies that are sensitive, actionable, and rooted in care.
4. Have safe, trauma-informed conversations – building confidence to support employees who may be at risk or in crisis.
Collaborate and signpost effectively – including how to work with organisations like the Hollie Gazzard Trust to promote employee wellbeing and foster a culture of trust and safety
Guest speakers:
Nick Gazzard OBE: Charity founder, consultant, campaigner, public speaker
Nick Gazzard founded the Hollie Gazzard Trust in 2014 after the murder of his daughter Hollie, determined to create positive change by raising awareness of domestic abuse and stalking. Since then, he has inspired thousands through schools, colleges, businesses, and community groups, sharing how personal tragedy became a force for prevention and support.
A respected keynote speaker, Nick has addressed conferences and training events for organisations including the National Police Chiefs’ Council, the Crown Prosecution Service, the National Probation Service, and Paladin, the National Stalking Advocacy Service. His story and work have also been widely covered across national and local media, with appearances on ITV’s This Morning and Tonight, BBC’s Breakfast and Crimewatch, Loose Women, and Netflix’s My Lover, My Killer.
Despite suffering a stroke in 2020, Nick’s determination to continue Hollie’s legacy has never faltered. His impact has been recognised with multiple awards, including the Prime Minister’s Points of Light award (2021), commendations from the Chief Crown Prosecutor and High Sheriff of Gloucestershire, an Honorary Degree from Hartpury University, and an Honorary Fellowship from the University of Gloucestershire. In 2025, Nick was awarded an OBE for services to tackling violence against women in the King’s New Year’s Honours.
Jane Harvey: CEO of the Hollie Gazzard Trust
Jane Harvey is the CEO of the Hollie Gazzard Trust, taking over leadership in May 2025 from Hollie’s father, Nick. With a professional background in broadcast journalism, Jane first reportedon stalking in 1999 for an ITV Network documentary, travelling to the United States to meet leading global experts in risk and safeguarding.
Her passion for raising awareness led her to work with anti-stalking pioneer Tracey Morgan at Network for Surviving Stalking, where she spearheaded projects that helped influence national policy. In 2010, Jane was part of the founding team that established the National Stalking Helpline.
Inspired by Hollie’s story, Jane first collaborated with the Trust on media projects after hearing Nick speak on the radio. In 2017, she moved into frontline support, providing specialist risk assessment, safeguarding, and advocacy for high-risk stalking victims in Gloucestershire. As one of the UK’s longest-serving Independent Stalking Advocacy Caseworkers (ISACs), Jane brought extensive expertise to the Trust before stepping into its leadership role.
A passionate advocate for victims of stalking and domestic abuse, Jane was recognised in 2023 with the Chief Constable of Gloucestershire’s Merit Award for her outstanding contribution to tackling violence against women and girls.
