Violence against women
and girls is
a
workplace issue.
Around 3 in 4 women experiencing domestic abuse are in paid employment.
Despite this, fewer than 1 in 5 women disclose domestic abuse at work.
Workplaces have both a responsibility and a critical opportunity to support women safely.
Our workshops
For organisations that want to respond to violence clearly, confidently and responsibly.
Participants leave with:
A clear understanding of how abuse shows up in the workplace
Confidence to respond appropriately to disclosure
Practical steps that support staff safely and strengthen organisational response
Policies and workplace cultures that support victim-survivors without forcing disclosure
Our leadership and HR workshops focus on policy, risk, duty of care and organisational response. Our all-staff sessions build shared understanding, challenge myths and equip people to respond appropriately to disclosure.
Each session is designed for mixed audiences and tailored to your organisation’s structure, culture and existing policies.
Supportive workplace responses lead to:
Increased safety and
wellbeing
Higher retention and
reduced turnover
Earlier and safer
disclosure
Women remaining in
employment

Frequently Asked Questions
-
No. While Third exists to address violence against women and girls, our workshops are designed for everyone in the workplace. Creating safer workplaces isn’t the responsibility of one group. It requires shared understanding across teams, leadership and HR and our sessions are built with that in mind.
-
Women are disproportionately affected by domestic abuse, sexual violence and coercive control, and often face particular barriers at work. Our mission is to bring awareness to violence against women and girls and to help organisations respond well.
The skills and guidance we teach are relevant to anyone experiencing abuse. Focusing on women reflects the scale of the issue but it does not limit who can benefit from support.
-
All income from workshops and training goes directly into keeping Third, the app, free and accessible for women. This includes development, security, safeguarding, and ongoing maintenance. Training is one of the ways we fund the app without charging users or compromising their safety.
-
Yes. We work with organisations to design bespoke training and advisory support where standard workshops aren’t the right fit. This might include adapting content for specific roles, sectors or risks; supporting policy development; or advising on safe, proportionate responses to complex situations.
