A free-to-join members' network of employers, the Employers' Initiative on Domestic Abuse (EIDA) supports around 1,700 large and small businesses, collectively comprising over 25% of the UK workforce, to take effective action on domestic abuse.
Only through greater awareness, relationship building and the sharing of best practice can we make a systemic change to the way domestic abuse is handled in the UK. We believe that every one of our members plays an important part in that.
Join us to change and save the lives of people in your workplace affected by domestic abuse.
