At Zero Centre Training and Consultancy we offer a range of specialist consultancy services. All of these services are individually tailored to meet your company needs. We provide companies/agencies with specialist knowledge and practical support to assist in the many complex areas of business.

Domestic violence is more often than not kept secret with the victim feeling ashamed to admit the real reason for absence, taking enormous steps to hide injuries, or the effects of the abuse. It is invaluable to be able to give your staff, a safe place to be able to share in confidence with another, the torment of living in her/his situation. To know they are not alone, not being judged and above all, that they have choices that would enable them to bring about change.

With knowledge, advice and support, a victim can choose to break free of the situation.

Drawing upon our vast experience as well as our insight, we provide solutions that are both invaluable and highly cost effective. We can offer staff:
    > Risk Assessment
    > Awareness training
    > Information on options in civil and criminal law
    > Safety planning options
    > Support and counselling on a one-to-one basis or in small groups

Domestic violence occurs in one in four households, which could be 25% of your workforce. Victims not only suffer physical, mental or emotional injury, but also experience low self-esteem and self-confidence. This in time almost inevitably affects their effectiveness in the workplace and may be often responsible for considerable absenteeism.

The financial cost of domestic violence is immeasurable but has been estimated at roughly £3billion annually.
