Speak Out: Domestic Abuse in the Work Place

Speak Out: Domestic Abuse in the Work Place

Details

Did you know that 1 in 5 men and women experience some form of domestic abuse? This stark reality, highlighted by the Office for National Statistics, means there’s a significant chance that individuals in your workforce are affected. Domestic abuse remains one of society’s last taboos, often shrouded in silence and stigma. Will you help break this taboo? The financial impact on businesses in England and Wales is staggering—estimated at £14 billion a year due to lost productivity from time off work related to domestic abuse (Home Office, 2019). The effects on those experiencing it are profound, with many suffering in silence due to guilt, shame, or fear. Some may not even realise they are victims. Following the incredible feedback from last year’s Speaking Out Summit in Leeds, we’re bringing this important event to North Yorkshire on 23rd October 2024 at Scarborough Rugby Club. This conference offers a unique opportunity to hear from: ⭐️Experts in Law, Finance, and HR ⭐️Survivors sharing their lived experiences ⭐️Businesses that have successfully implemented supportive policies, including North Yorkshire Police Additionally, we’ll host an Employee Wellbeing Exhibition, featuring organisations that provide vital support on issues ranging from mental health to gambling. If you are a business that cares about your employees and their wellbeing, this event is for you. Tickets are only £35 for the full day which includes a brilliant resource pack, policy templates, all the talks, lunch and refreshments. Profit proceeds are all going to the amazing IDAS charity.
