About this course

The purpose of this course is to tackle the crucial yet often overlooked issue of domestic abuse. It will explain the different forms of domestic abuse, how an employee experiencing abuse may be impacted at work, and the resources and support available to them.   

It is important to note that domestic abuse is a difficult subject to read and talk about. We recommend that employees find a safe space to complete this course and take a break when they feel it is necessary. A list of local support services is also included within the course

Why is Domestic Abuse Awareness Training Important?

According to the Office for National Statistics, there were 51,288 domestic abuse-related prosecutions in England and Wales for the year ending March 2023.

Domestic abuse seriously impacts all aspects of a person's day-to-day activities including their professional life. It can affect attendance, performance, career progression, and employment stability. Incidents of abuse might even occur during work hours or via workplace communication channels.

Employers are in a strong position to support all employees affected by domestic abuse by offering help and guidance through workplace policies and procedures.

Legal Island has created this Domestic Abuse Awareness eLearning course for all staff to help raise awareness and complement workplace policies and procedures.
