After a boy, 8, had Christmas and birthday money stolen, our officers decided to have a whip round, and give it back. He smiled non-stop during their visit. They probably turned what would have been one of his worst childhood memories, into one of his best. #PolicingwithPRIDE

25% of women are affected by domestic violence during their adult lifetimes.
We have a range of advice for anyone affected by violence at home. #16days#16DaysOfAction@caadv_uk https://t.co/XdyXQcmEjd
On #IDEVAW2019, these stats remind us of the pivotal role businesses play in ending domestic abuse. 122,000 women have taken time off work because of it in the last year - employers must take discernible action to recognise and prevent abuse. #16Days

It's the start of another extremely important week in the calendar this week because it's the beginning of the 16 Days Of Action Against Domestic Violence campaign. Let's raise awareness together!! #16Days#16DaysofAction@caadv_uk

🚨 122,000 women have taken time off work because of domestic abuse
🚨 £5,800 annual loss of earnings for every woman who is experiencing domestic abuse
🚨 £316 million in economic loss in the UK alone
Domestic abuse is #EveryonesBusiness#16Days

When women are included at peace tables, it can improve outcomes before, during, and after conflict.
Yet, women's participation in peace processes is systematically low. #PeaceDay#UNGA
Reminder: those who experience domestic abuse are so often targeted at work. As employers, the scope we have in recognising this and providing support is massive.
Remember: domestic abuse is everyone's business.

"If people don’t have the financial means to be independent, it forces them to stay with abusive partners for longer."
Good to see this continued awareness around #EconomicAbuse & our #EveryonesBusiness partner @SEAresource quoted!

Only 5% of organisations have policies in place to support employees experiencing domestic abuse. This must change. We're helping to lead the way, introducing paid leave for our staff affected | @hrmagazine

Pleased to see this mentioned in discussions around the #DomesticAbuseBill and hopeful that measures such as #EveryonesBusiness will continue & strengthen. Without looking to employers to tackle DA, we're missing a vital opportunity
Pleased to hear Victoria Atkins MP yesterday speaking about the need for employers to be able to recognise and then respond to domestic abuse. It's #EveryonesBusiness, and we hope the #DABill will work to highlight this. Watch 👇

Domestic abuse is happening behind closed doors. There’s still an onus on us - as friends, family, peers, neighbours - to recognise it and know how to respond.
A #WorldEmojiDay thread on how to help a friend experiencing domestic abuse 👇
“We already know that 59 per cent of millennials experienced anxiety, depression or PTSD as a result of childhood exposure to domestic abuse. It is clear that children are victims too." - Lyndsey Dearlove,@UKSAYSNOMORE#DomesticAbuseBill | @MayaOppenheim

The first step to supporting employees who may experience #DomesticAbuse can be a simple one. An app like #BrightSky enables employers to learn the signs & understand what employees might be experiencing. Great to see this app launched in Ireland!

Children don't witness domestic abuse, they experience it. Without the right support their mental health suffers. In #BigGive week, donations are doubled and help us ensure children like Charlotte don't have their future compromised #ChildhoodBeyondTrauma
