- Decision
- Carried
For women today in the 21st century domestic abuse still remains taboo and hidden in society and in the workplace. For many women, the fear is of not being believed by work colleagues and management. Conference believes that too many women are suffering unnecessarily as a consequence of employers using absence management policies against employees.
Conference calls on the National Women’s Committee to campaign on behalf of women, who are domestic abuse victims, from protection against absence management monitoring; this should include the promotion of management training for dealing with domestic abuse issues and raising awareness.
