Support for Domestic Abuse Survivors

LoadingAdd to my saved searches

This contractor raised awareness of domestic abuse across the business. They launched a video, highlighting the effects of domestic abuse and what they wanted to achieve.

They also created a domestic abuse toolbox talk which was shared across the business and used on sites and in the offices. as well as organising a campaign week, where resources were shared across the midlands and posters were put up around sites.

They also built a garden for a local refuge and did it all with supply chain donations raising over £25,000 and engaged with the women in refuge about construction opportunities through career talks, those in attendance were also provided with a CV writing workshop.

On another visit they discussed routes into construction and how they have overcome challenges and inequality in some cases to forge successful careers within the construction industry.

From this interaction one of the women within the refuge is looking into starting a course in Electrical Engineering and another has submitted her application to the contractor’s Trainee scheme.
