<p>Domestic abuse is a devastating crime which shatters the lives of victims and their
families, and this Government remains committed to transforming the response to this
abuse. That is why we have introduced the landmark Domestic Abuse Bill, which had
its Second Reading on 2 October and will be carried over to the next Parliamentary
session.</p><p>Employers should take all steps which are reasonably possible to ensure
their health, safety and wellbeing of their employees.</p><p>We know that 97% of employers
offer some form of flexible working. Many employers also offer compassionate leave
or special leave to employees to enable them to take time to deal with a wide range
of circumstances. This type of leave is agreed between the employer and the employee,
either as a contractual entitlement or on a discretionary basis.</p>
