Sharon's Policy
Domestic abuse is everyone’s business...
Sharon’s Policy is a FREE domestic abuse policy template accompanied by guidance notes, initially developed in 2021 through a collaboration with the Domestic Abuse Alliance, Employers Initiative on Domestic Abuse and HR Dept. This initiative was designed to assist businesses in supporting their employees affected by domestic abuse.
The policy and guidance notes are intended to be used in tandem. Employers are encouraged to download and implement “Sharon’s Policy” and refer to the guidance notes to tailor a domestic abuse policy suited to their specific business needs.
