Organisation of Working Time (Domestic Violence Leave) Bill 2020: Discussion (Resumed)

Ms Jane Ann Duffy:

Our tender is live at the moment. We are seeking a partner to develop templates that will help all different types of employers, from very small SMEs to larger employers, to develop training and supports to build their domestic violence policies and to provide advice for a period of time. Issues may arise with the policy that is developed, in which case the partner would provide expertise. The reason we are going out to tender for a partner is that we look at family leave. We do not really have expertise on workplace and HR policy. That is why we are looking for someone to develop such policy with us.
