Established in 2007 as a Social Enterprise, Onus offers specialist training and consultancy services on domestic violence and abuse.

Onus developed the Workplace Charter on Domestic Violence to enable organisations and communities to be recognised for their support to anyone affected by domestic violence or abuse. Our range of supported Pathways, empower communities to recognise and respond to anyone affected by domestic or sexual violence or abuse.

We believe that in order to create a society that has zero-tolerance towards domestic violence or abuse, prevention and early intervention work is crucial.

We believe the onus is on all of us and through our various Pathways for Participation everyone can play their part.

ONUS COVID-19 STATEMENT

Whilst government messages are encouraging everyone to stay home for their safety and in an attempt to delay Covid-19 cases, we are aware that not everyone’s home is a safe place. 

Additionally, emerging data is reflecting the concern of police and domestic abuse services that domestic abuse will in fact escalate during this period of social distancing and self isolation.

Services are still open and are working to rapidly adjust how they can continue to respond to individuals experiencing abuse at home. 

At a time when many employees are working from home, we would ask you as a Safe Employer to inform staff that these services are still operating and to take care of themselves in this way too. 

Traditional delivery of training was postponed due to the current situation with Covid-19 initially, however we are delighted to now be offering online webinar training. 

Onus staff will be available if you have any concerns or queries on supporting your staff with any domestic abuse concerns at this very difficult time.  We will also be continuing to update and develop resources.
