One in five adults experience domestic abuse, it’s important to recognise anyone can be a victim of domestic abuse. Professionals, including people who are working in domestic abuse (DA), are part of that statistic and face unique challenges if they become victims.

Employers have a duty of care to support employees experiencing DA. Both abusers and victims can be part of our communities and workplaces, therefore it's important to respond to both.

SETDAB have developed a good practice guide with their partners. Learn more on how to support professionals experiencing domestic abuse, the unique barriers they face in accessing support, together with some real-life case studies which help to bring these issues to life.
