Approximately 1 in 4 women and 1 in 6 men will experience domestic abuse in their lifetime. And many of us will either work with a colleague or know someone, who has been impacted by abuse. We may even have lived experience ourselves.
As a society, we recognise that domestic abuse needs a co-ordinated community approach, with support at work playing a key role. The criminal justice system can't tackle this issue alone.
In this webinar we'll look at how we can create a work culture where it's safe to come forward to talk about abuse and access support. We also look at examples of the support available through the Bank Workers Charity.

Men are less likely to talk about their mental health and are more reluctant to see their GP. In this webinar from the Bank Workers Charity they will explore the reasons why, and the key issues affecting men’s health. This is a free webinar and open to everyone.
New date! We've teamed up with the Bank Workers Charity to look at the effects of addiction in the workplace, the impacts on professional environments and individuals' overall wellbeing. This session aims not only to impart valuable insights into the prevalence of addiction but also to present strategies that nurture a more open and supportive workplace environment. This is a free webinar, open to all members.
