This is part of a suite of eight interconnected toolkits, produced by Business in the Community and Public Health England, to help every organisation support the mental and physical health and wellbeing of its employees. Each addresses a different aspect of workplace wellbeing, with a common thread of mental health running through them all. They’re freely available and designed to be relevant to employers across all sectors.

This one, supported by The Insurance Charities, is designed to help organisations to make a commitment to respond to the risk of domestic abuse, and ensure all employees feel supported and empowered by their workplace. It outlines the nature and extent of domestic abuse – whether psychological, physical, sexual, emotional, verbal or economic – and is filled with practical suggestions, resources and case studies. It’s divided into sections on different topics with built-in navigation and links between them, so you can follow it step by step or go straight to the sections you want to know more about.
Business in the Community exists to build healthy communities with successful businesses at their heart.
