UK Commercial Bid Manager Angela Benson, who chairs Chester Women's Aid, talks to us about a challenging topic, domestic abuse. She covers what it is, why we're talking about it as an employer, and some support resources.
While we try to talk sensitively about the topic, please be aware that this may be triggering for those who have experienced domestic abuse.
For free domestic abuse support, call 0808 2000 247. If you are in immediate danger, please call 999. Lockdown rules do not apply in situations of domestic abuse. If you are experiencing domestic abuse and need immediate help, you can also ask for ‘ANI’ in a participating pharmacy.
The resources Angela mentions are:
- Freephone domestic abuse helpline
The BrightSky appManKind, for male victims of domestic abuse
