Hair and Beauty Professionals Against Domestic Abuse
Would hair & beauty professionals join a domestic abuse awareness programme that can save lives
Lash~Ed Professional Beauty Magazine is spearheading a campaign that invites UK hair and beauty professionals to work together to recognise the warning signs of domestic abuse. We are well positioned to sensitively and safely refer clients or colleagues - even friends or family - to resources that are best placed to help them like Women’s Aid. It’s as simple as that and it could save someone’s life.
We know that a short training session will not make anyone an expert. It’s not about hair and beauty professionals intervening, but having the tools to respond in the best way. When clients reveal disturbing things, there can be an emotional impact on both parties. Sadly, we’ve often heard them but at least a degree of awareness training will give our colleagues an opportunity to help. This will be an informed, well-intentioned and meaningful way to be able to signpost to professionals who are specially trained to help.
We would like to know if hair and beauty professionals are interested in joining a simple UK wide programme that has the chance to save lives. We know that there are hair and beauty salons already doing this in the UK. This is fantastic, but it’s somewhat isolated. We want to make it really easy to set up and run when you’re already busy running your business. This is why we welcome your views about what would encourage you to be part of it.
This survey will be open until 30th June 2018
