How can employers best support victims and perpetrators of Domestic and Family Violence

On Wednesday 18th November, we were proud to host Elisabeth Shaw, CEO of Relationships Australia on our webinar ‘How can employers best support victims and perpetrators of Domestic and Family Violence’

Unfortunately, Australia has reported a growing problem with Domestic and Family Violence. However, thanks to the effort of advocates, we know that workplaces, colleagues, and leaders can play an important role in supporting victims. Many workplaces have implemented Family Violence policies and have frameworks in place in the event that a victim seeks help and requires support from their employer.

However, as HR and HSE practitioners, would you be prepared to have a conversation with a perpetrator of Domestic or Family Violence about their behaviour? This is an incredibly challenging area, but as society looks to minimise abusive and violent behaviour, it is a challenge colleagues in workplaces need to be prepared for, especially those in a HR or HSE function.

This webinar will explore how employers can support perpetrators in a sensitive way, encouraging accountability while also supporting and ensuring the safety of victims.
