Safeguarding children and adults at risk of harm - 16. Support for staff
16.1 The council recognises that safeguarding situations or other scenarios where staff encounter people who have experienced or who are at risk of harm can be distressing. A wide range of support is available, and staff are encouraged to speak with a manager or human resources in the first instance.
16.2 We are committed to developing a workplace culture in which there is zero tolerance of abuse, and which recognises that the responsibility for domestic abuse lies with the perpetrator.
16.3 Further information on support services including details of the council’s employee assistance programme, domestic abuse champions and mental health first aiders can be found via the Well-being site on the council's intranet.
