It’s a question a lot of employers are asking themselves at the moment. In January 2021, the UK Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy published its response to a consultation on how employees who are survivors of domestic abuse can be supported in the workplace. The response stated that the Government would consult on changes to employment rights to support survivors of domestic abuse, such as strengthening the right to work flexibly. The response was accompanied by an open letter to all employers from the UK Business Minister with a call to action to take steps to support employees. Various organisations (such as the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) and Business in the Community) have also prepared guidance for employers in an attempt to shine a spotlight on the issue.
