Treasury: Domestic Abuse
The question
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether her 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 Dan Tomlinson
HM Treasury provides ongoing guidance to all staff on how to handle domestic abuse. The guidance provides comprehensive information on how to recognise the signs of domestic abuse and outlines the steps managers can take to offer appropriate support.
HMT is also a member of the Employers Initiative on Domestic Abuse which provides additional resources to ensure all of our staff are able to recognise key signs and have additional support materials to hand to enable them to support staff members who may be experiencing domestic abuse.
