This session covers:

• What DV is and how it can affect the workplace for perpetrators of abuse, targets of abuse, co-workers, and employers
• Considerations for employees working remotely to comply and mitigate risk
• How to approach someone you suspect may be experiencing abuse
• Risk escalation factors and the importance of reporting
• How to help keep targets of abuse, and others in the workplace safe
• Statistical data, policy consideration and the legal framework
