EIDA’s e-learning module is designed specifically to help small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) build an effective workplace response to domestic abuse. It is available to every organisation in the UK, whether they are a member of EIDA or not. We also warmly encourage larger employers to share it with SMEs in their community or supply chain who may benefit.
By completing the e-learning, SMEs will:
- Understand how to Recognise, Respond and Refer safely and appropriately
- Learn their legal and ethical responsibilities as an employer
- Follow a clear, structured approach to building your domestic abuse response
- Learn how to raise awareness and embed their approach into daily practice
- Feel confident that they are taking meaningful, effective action
Â
The module takes around 60–90 minutes to complete in full. We recommend to refer to it as you go along and develop your response. Please note this is not domestic abuse training, but a step by step guide for SMEs to develop and implement an effective domestic abuse response. If you would like further details of specific domestic abuse training, please contact us.
Why we created this resource
Domestic abuse affects millions of people, including members of your workforce. SMEs have told us they want clearer guidance, practical tools, and a simple, manageable way to take action. This new e-learning resource does exactly that.
Developed with support from the City of London Corporation (an EIDA Beacon Member), the module provides a step-by-step guide to help recognise the signs of domestic abuse, respond safely and confidently, and put the right support in place for employees.
No prior knowledge is needed, just a commitment to making your workplace a safer place for everyone.
