Sharon's Policy
Domestic abuse is everyone’s business...
Sharon’s Policy is a FREE domestic abuse policy template, developed in collaboration with Domestic Abuse Alliance, Employers’ Initiative on Domestic Abuse and The HR Dept. This initiative was created to assist businesses of all sizes and in all sectors, in supporting employees affected by domestic abuse.
The policy is legally reviewed and annually updated, and comes with practical guidance notes to help tailor it to your organisation’s specific needs. When downloaded, you’ll also gain access to our latest initiative, Protecting Every Future – a resource which focuses on adapting family-friendly policies and procedures within the workplace.
