Equally Safe at Work update: Now open to new employers
We are pleased to announce that Equally Safe at Work is now open to new employers across the public and third sector. Equally Safe at Work is an employer accreditation designed to support the local implementation of the Equally Safe strategy, Scotland’s national strategy to prevent and eradicate violence against women and girls. Equally Safe at Work supports employers to advance gender inequality and prevent violence against women.
New report: Findings from the evaluation of Equally Safe at Work in local government, NHS and third sector
At Close the Gap, we’re always keen to understand what works in creating change for women in the workplace. One area where we’ve seen success in our work is Equally Safe at Work, our innovative employer accreditation programme that supports employers in local government, NHS and third sector develop gender- and VAW- sensitive employment practice. The programme was first piloted between 2019 and 2020. Over the past 18 months, we’ve been working with a new cohort of councils and introduced a pilot in the NHS and third sector. As a result of the recent roll out, we’re delighted that 14 new employers have become accredited.
