Government to review support in the workplace for survivors of domestic abuseBusiness Minister Paul Scully launches review of employment rights for survivors of domestic abuse. ![]()
The availability of flexible working, unplanned leave and other employment needs will be examined in a new review of how employers and government could better support domestic abuse survivors at work. The review, launched by Business Minister Paul Scully, will look at options to improve the workplace for survivors, including how employers can help tackle economic abuse, such as by paying wages to a different bank account or making emergency salary payments available for those in real financial hardship. Domestic abuse has a profound impact which goes far beyond what they face at home at home, with 1 in 5 survivors needing to take time off work due to abuse. Business Minister Paul Scully said:
Safeguarding Minister Victoria Atkins said:
Nicole Jacobs, Domestic Abuse Commissioner, said:
Elizabeth Filkin, Chair, Employers’ Initiative on Domestic Abuse said:
Dame Vera Baird QC, the Victims’ Commissioner for England and Wales said:
Peter Cheese, Chief Executive of the CIPD, said:
The review comes as the government’s ground-breaking Domestic Abuse Bill continues through Parliament which will bring into law a statutory definition of domestic abuse that includes, coercive or controlling behaviour, as well as emotional and economic abuse. The Bill will also provide police forces with new powers through the Domestic Abuse Protection Notice and Order, as well as place a duty on local authorities in England to provide support for victims of domestic abuse and their children in refuges and other safe accommodation. Notes to editorsThe review aims to ensure survivors are given the support they deserve within the workplace, whether that is an outlet for reporting abuse, financial assistance or as a source of emotional support. It will begin with a call for written evidence from stakeholders, on the specific employment needs of domestic abuse survivors, and how they are met by current employment rights and practices. As part of the process, the government will explore examples of best practice from employers within the UK and evidence from other countries and how they approach domestic abuse, to see how the UK’s current employment framework could be enhanced. The review will also include a series of roundtables, run by the Department of Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) and Home Office (HO), with organisations and individuals who wish to share their views directly. Written submissions will be accepted until 9 September and should be sent to domesticabuse.employmentreview@beis.gov.uk, answering 1 of the below open questions:
