Educating UK and international businesses on domestic abuse and the crucial role they play in supporting their employees.

01/11/2026

After a busy week, we are finally getting round to sharing a little about the fantastic event Sharon attended at the UK House of Commons on Thursday.

The event marked the parliamentary launch of Addressing Perpetrators of Domestic Abuse: A Guide for Employers - an important resource co-produced by Employers' Initiative on Domestic Abuse and Respect UK

The room was filled with energy, passion and a shared commitment to making a difference. It was inspiring to see so much enthusiasm for the guide and the positive change it has the potential to bring about 💜

It was also lovely for Sharon to catch up with familiar faces - Rhiain Akin, Ayesha Fordham, Sharon Baker, Andrew Lane, Sally Benatar QPM and Kathryn Benwell to name a few, and make some new connections along the way.

A really valuable event, and an important step towards helping employers understand the role they can play in addressing domestic abuse.

Domestic Abuse Awareness Month ends tomorrow.

Domestic abuse doesn't.

The conversations we've had throughout October need to continue year-round.

So, what can your organisation do next?

✅ Review your policy: is it current, accessible and understood?

✅ Showcase support: use posters, your intranet and internal communications to make help visible.

✅ Establish Workplace Champions: give people the knowledge and confidence to support colleagues appropriately.

Awareness Month may be ending, but your organisation's commitment doesn't have to.

If you're ready to turn awareness into action, we're here to help.

Leaving an abusive relationship doesn't necessarily mean the abuse ends.

Post-separation abuse can continue, and in some cases escalate, after a relationship has ended.

It may include harassment, stalking, threats, financial abuse, coercive behaviour or using children as a means of continuing control.

For employers, this matters.

An employee may still need understanding, flexibility and workplace support long after they have left the relationship.

Leaving isn't always the end of the story.

Training shouldn't just raise awareness. It should give people the confidence to know what to do next.

We recently received this feedback from Valentina Frolkina, Senior Data Analyst at HAVI, following a Domestic Abuse Training session with Sharon:

"The training was eye-opening... the toolkit Sharon shared might give me a chance to identify what could actually be going wrong."

Valentina also highlighted something particularly important for today's workplaces: support still matters when teams work remotely.

Even in a fully digital workplace, we can take simple actions to create a safe space where a colleague feels able to share what they're experiencing.

That's what we want people to take away from our training: greater awareness, practical tools and the confidence to support others.

Yesterday, Sharon Livermore MBE had the privilege of attending the Employers' Initiative on Domestic Abuse (EIDA) Defence Industry Roundtable: Taking Effective Action on Domestic Abuse, hosted in collaboration with Amentum and the UK Ministry of Defence, where she shared her lived experience and the importance of workplaces having an effective response to domestic abuse.

Organisations from across the defence sector came together to share experiences, discuss challenges and explore how we can strengthen workplace responses.

One comment really stood out to Sharon: “I want you to leave work in the same state you arrived, but I also want you to return to work in the same state you left.”

Workplace safety must go beyond what happens within the workplace. Employers have an important role to play in recognising the impact of domestic abuse and creating environments where people feel safe, supported and able to speak up. Because safety and wellbeing shouldn’t stop at the workplace door 💜

Earlier this week, Sharon Livermore MBE delivered a virtual session on Domestic Abuse Awareness & Support in the Workplace for Southern Water.

During the session, Sharon shared her lived experience, explored who domestic abuse affects, explained what domestic abuse is, and highlighted the signs to look out for 💜

Sharon was then joined by Rachael Lewis for an engaging Q&A session, where they discussed how to start a conversation, respond if someone discloses domestic abuse, how to signpost individuals to appropriate support, and the fantastic internal support available to employees at Southern Water ✨

👏 A huge thank you to Southern Water for collaborating with us and recognising the importance of raising awareness, breaking down barriers and ensuring employees know where to turn for support. Thank you also to Marc McKenna-Coles for helping faciliate the session and of course to Rachael Lewis for making this happen 🙏🏽

💜 Together, we can create safer, more supportive workplaces where people feel heard, understood and empowered to seek help.

"I'm worried I'll say the wrong thing."

It's something we hear from managers.

And it's understandable.

Domestic abuse is complex, and you may be worried about making things worse.

But managers don't need to become domestic abuse experts.

They need the confidence to recognise, respond and refer.

To listen without judgement.

To avoid making assumptions.

To understand their organisation's procedures.

And to know where specialist support is available.

That's what good workplace training provides.

Over 3,300 downloads, and counting.

Sharon's Domestic Abuse Policy was created to give organisations practical guidance for supporting employees experiencing domestic abuse.

But having a policy is only the beginning.

Download it.

Adapt it.

Communicate it.

Train your people.

A policy sitting unseen on an intranet won't create change. Your employees and managers need to know it exists and understand how to use it.

When we talk about domestic abuse in the workplace, we often focus on supporting victim-survivors.
But the person causing harm may also be an employee.

This can raise difficult questions for employers, making informed policies, processes and training essential.

We’re proud to be partnering with a highly experienced specialist in perpetrator behaviour to expand our training portfolio and bring further expertise to this important area.

Watch this space for more details.

Yesterday, Sharon Livermore MBE joined CGI at their London office, where she shared her lived experience of domestic abuse, along with highlighting the importance of workplaces being educated and understanding how to recognise, respond, refer and make workplace adjustments to support victim-survivors.

With 1 in 4 UK employees experiencing domestic abuse in their lifetime, this is a workplace issue that we cannot afford to ignore 💼

It was fantastic to hear from Aaron Kerrigan about the support CGI already has in place, and to take part in discussions led by Rachel Owen and Martin Jebb about how this can be further strengthened 🤝

Sharon is looking forward to continuing the conversation 💜
