• Domestic abuse is a complex issue that affects over 2 million adults in the UK every year. It can be an incredibly isolating experience for victim-survivors and have long-term impacts on both physical and mental wellbeing.

    In this Insight Hour, we explored the significant and often under-recognised long-term effects that domestic abuse can have, both personally and professionally. This includes post-separation abuse  and the emotional recovery from traumatic experiences. We provided practical guidance on how employers can create a safer workplace for employees who experience domestic abuse, including strategies for supporting affected individuals, recognising signs of distress and trauma, and fostering a supportive and inclusive work environment that promotes the well-being of all employees.
