  • Equally Safe at Work Successes from the Pilot Contents
    Equally Safe at Work Successes from the pilot Contents Introduction 2 Equally Safe at Work 3 What councils did 4 Case studies from pilot councils 6 What we have learned 12 1 Introduction Equally Safe at Work is an innovative employer accreditation programme developed to support Scottish local authorities to improve their employment practice through advancing gender equality at work and supporting victim- survivors of violence against women (VAW). The programme was developed by Close the Gap, Scotland’s women and labour market expert, which works with employers, policymakers, trade unions, and employees to influence and enable positive action to address the causes of women’s inequality at work. Equally Safe at Work was developed to advance women’s labour market equality in Scotland through working directly with employers to ensure that workplace policies and practice take account of women’s experiences of employment. The programme was designed to support councils to understand how gender inequality and VAW affect women in the workforce and the wider organisation, and to provide a framework to drive change. During the pilot of Equally Safe at Work, early adopter councils completed a range of activities to address the causes of gender inequality and also implemented new mechanisms to better support victim-survivors at work. Through their participation in the pilot, councils generated integral learning on local government employment practice on gender equality and VAW that will inform future development of the programme. £17 billion a year the cost of women’s inequality in Scotland 2 Equally Safe at Work Equally Safe at Work supports the local implementation of Equally Safe, the Scottish Government and COSLA joint strategy to prevent and eradicate violence against women and girls.
