This session aims to raise awareness of this hard-hitting topic, whilst showcasing the importance and true difference a business can make

We are deeply committed to raising awareness of domestic abuse and promoting a community where everyone feels safe, respected, and supported. We invite you to join our Domestic Abuse Awareness and Supporting in the Workplace Session (Tuesday 11 February 2025).

This session aims to raise awareness of this concerning topic, whilst showcasing the importance and true difference a business can make to employees who are victims of domestic abuse.

This session is an informative and moving presentation delivered by Domestic Abuse survivor Sharon Livermore MBE.


The session covers:

1. How to recognise, respond, and refer a victim to specialist services.

2. Hard-hitting statistics related to domestic abuse, why it is a workplace issue and how domestic abuse does not discriminate.

3. The opportunity to have your questions answered in an open discussion at the end of the presentation.


Together we can make a meaningful impact, change lives, and support those affected by domestic abuse.

Domestic abuse is everyone’s business.
