TUC: Supporting domestic abuse survivors at work

Watch the recording

Event details

Financial and economic abuse are a form of domestic violence, and anyone can be a victim. Join us for this discussion and hear from Lizzy Dobres, Policy & Practice Manager at Women’s Aid, who will discuss what economic abuse is, and its impact.

We’ll talk through some practical advice around how reps can support domestic abuse survivors at work who have experienced financial abuse and we’ll discuss what practical steps reps can take to ensure their employers have robust duty of care support mechanisms in place at work.

 This event was hosted by the TUC using the Crowdcast platform. Accord is not responsible for this material.
