Scotland Office: Domestic Abuse
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland, whether his Department has (a) implemented a domestic abuse policy for staff and (b) trained line managers to effectively respond to staff who are experiencing domestic abuse.
Answered by Kirsty McNeill
The Scotland Office does not employ staff directly, all staff that join, do so on an assignment, loan or secondment from other Government bodies, principally the Ministry of Justice and the Scottish Government, who remain the employers.
The Ministry of Justice and the Scottish Government provide extensive domestic abuse guidance and support for employees and their managers.
