Organisation of Working Time (Domestic Violence Leave) Bill 2020: Discussion (Resumed)
Ms Sarah Benson:
Speaking to the point made by Ms Mulholland around the issue of employers knowing, quite often at the point of implementation of legislation the Government will also commit resources. They will not just legislate, they will commit resources to an awareness-raising campaign. That does not have to be a break-the-bank thing. It could also incorporate using Skillnet if one is going to target small companies. If that does happen, probably centralised in that will be the reminder that this, similar to all other domestic violence services, DVS, is confidential and must be treated as such. This is just a suggestion for consideration.
