We are pleased to announce that LUV CIC has signed up to the Employer Domestic Abuse Covenant (EDAC).
EDAC is a pledge taken by organisations who commit to supporting women affected by domestic abuse to enter or re-renter the workplace. This Covenant, is the first in the UK to address Domestic Abuse and is the third of its kind in the UK, following on from the Armed Forces and Care Leavers Covenants. It has also been included as a recommendation in the Domestic Abuse Act 2021.
Adella Fletcher, Director of LUV CIC said: “ By signing up to EDAC we are showing our commitment to supporting domestic abuse survivors, not only with our service offer but also by ensuring that our staff are knowledgeable & policies are in place to protect them too. We are practicing what we are preaching!”
At the very least, our staff will be trained on how to spot signs of domestic abuse and have sufficient awareness of domestic abuse. We are currently working on creating opportunities to allow women to enter or re-enter the workplace, alongside our employability & life skills training offer.
Our founder & CEO Sara Maynard said: “As a domestic abuse survivor my passion has always been helping other women understanding their true worth. Being part of EDAC gives me great pleasure, as it enables our organisation to help that little bit more by giving women opportunities to move forward an extra step towards living unapologetically themselves”
We are proud to be part of a network of organisations, who are committed to supporting women affected by domestic abuse to reclaim their lives and live it on their own terms.
