Announcement of Beacon membership of the Employers’ Initiative on Domestic Abuse

We, along with Connected Together CIC and Healthwatch North and West Northamptonshire, are delighted to announce our Beacon membership of the Employers’ Initiative on Domestic Abuse (EIDA), a leading business network that supports employers to take action on domestic abuse.

The EIDA Beacon programme brings together businesses that have committed to tackling domestic abuse.  EIDA Beacons work collaboratively to raise awareness and to share learnings on how best to support employees and their families affected by domestic abuse. ​EIDA works with employers to help them implement effective internal policies on domestic abuse, as well as providing awareness and signposting to up-to-date resources.

We are committed to raising awareness of the terrible impact of domestic abuse, to supporting employees affected by domestic abuse, as well as to playing a leading role in encouraging and inspiring more employers to take action. 

Chief Executive Kate Holt said:

“Connected Together CIC is proud to become a Beacon member of EIDA.  We want to help lead change among employers across the UK. We know that it is only by working together that we can make the systematic change needed to stop domestic abuse. Imagine if every employer made their employees aware of the signs of domestic abuse, provided appropriate support to their employees and told them how to seek relevant, effective help. That sort of wide-scale, societal impact requires informed action by business leaders, supported by EIDA with their guidance and resources."  

“We are proud that Connected Together CIC is making a positive social impact by joining EIDA’s network as a Beacon.”
