Home/hybrid working and domestic abuse: tips for employers



Published
The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in more people working fully remote or in a hybrid capacity. Unfortunately, this has resulted in an increase in domestic abuse and violence cases or exacerbated existing abuse.

Employers have a duty of care to their staff and in this session we provide top tips for employers on how to approach domestic abuse. In this session we were joined by Abby Bisset from Shetland Women's Aid and discussed:

• the role of the employer and its legal obligations to employees
• how to spot key signs of domestic abuse
• support which employers can provide
• domestic abuse policies
