Here we are on #Day9 of the #16Days Campaign and we are introducing our #Training support for all.
Our training and awareness raising offer, for employers or professionals in social care, health, education, police, clergy, magistrates and the local community wishing to gain crucial knowledge or an insight into Domestic Violence/Abuse (DVA), HBA/FM and FGM/FGC (Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting).
DVA can affect all aspects of a persons life from education and employment, to health, social and child care; it is everyone's business.
Often employers do not realise that they have an increased #DutyOfCare if an employee discloses they are being abused. And many do not have a Domestic Abuse policy in place.
What's the impact on employers?
It causes depression, sleep deprivation, inability to concentrate, loss of appetite or physical pain. These factors could result in performance issues, absenteeism or presenteeism, and consequently reduced productivity/lost output. Research by KPMG shows that £316m in economic output is lost by UK businesses each year as a result of absences related to DVA.
*In addition, the potential loss of earnings per female victim is more than £5,800 per year.
*75% of employed victims are harassed by their abusers while at work, through repeated calls or visits to the workplace. This can impact on colleagues who find themselves taking messages from the perpetrator, shielding unwanted calls/visits, taking on or covering for their absence. In some cases, they may inadvertently put themselves at risk.
