We have some very exciting news! On 14 May we are launching the EIDA Handbook, the most comprehensive resource available for any employer implementing a #DomesticAbuse response. This is our biggest project to date and we can't wait to share it with you soon!

EIDA collaborated with Heart of the City to produce this resource for small and medium sized businesses on how they can respond to #DomesticAbuse and protect their employees. All guidance and resources are cost-free and adaptable to organisations of any size! #SME

Thank you to our brilliant Ambassador Samantha Billingham for sharing! More and more employers are committing to tackling #DomesticAbuse among their employees. We need all of society onboard, and employers are a vital part of that effort. Refer a partner organisation to sign up to EIDA!

All companies, large and small, of any sector and industry, can join EIDA and be a part of the movement for employers to tackle #DomesticAbuse and safeguard their employees! Become a member here: eida.org.uk/membership

Many victim/survivors of #DomesticAbuse are unable to escape because they don't have anywhere else to live. Providing access to housing is an important part of addressing domestic abuse. Employers can help by allowing survivors to access company housing if they have it🌹

We invite you to our upcoming Insight Hour webinar with Women's Aid in celebration of their 50th anniversary on 23 April from 1pm-2pm. It's free and anyone can attend! Join us to get inspired and learn from 50 years of combating #DomesticAbuse
