A Domestic & Family Violence (DFV) disclosure may happen in a single conversation, but the workplace implications can be complex and ongoing. This practical session explores how workplaces can respond to disclosures, understand DFV-related risk and consider what needs to be in place before a serious situation arises.
Receiving and responding to DFV disclosures safely and sensitively
Practical resources and tools to support employees experiencing DFV and their colleagues
Understanding DFV risk and what organisations should prepare for when risk intersects with the workplace
Recognising the limits of the workplace role and when specialist support may be needed
