Recognising and Understanding Domestic Abuse in Your Workforce and Beyond

TLC: Talk, Listen, Change, is a leading relationships charity operating in Greater Manchester specialising in domestic abuse. We believe that everyone deserves a circle of safe, happy, and healthy relationships in the workplace or at home.

Domestic Abuse is a prevalent issue for businesses:
• 1 in 3 working people in the UK experience domestic abuse.
• UK businesses lost £316 million in economic output each year as a result of work absences related to domestic abuse.
• ¾ of perpetrators of domestic abuse used their work resources to check on or harass their partners or ex-partners.

At this event you will hear from TLC alongside a panel of experts discussing:
• How to create a comprehensive internal domestic abuse policy
• How to recognise abuse and how to respond appropriately
• Giving staff the skills and confidence to support victims and hold people who use harm to account

Join us to hear more about the life-changing work we do and support a growing Manchester charity. Come and learn how you can better support the emotional and physical wellbeing of your employees and network with other local businesses.
