After attending a White Ribbon breakfast in our local area we saw the need as a major business in the Blacktown area to play our part in spreading the word of White Ribbon and what its goals were. In 2013 we became the first registered club in Australia to introduce safe family support in all our employees’ enterprise agreements to allow any employee who was experiencing domestic violence issues to be able to take leave to seek assistance without the worry of losing wages. This has since led to other clubs adopting this approach. We are currently undertaking the White Ribbon workplace accreditation program which on completion will see us as the first club in Australia to have achieved recognition in this program. The Board of Directors at Blacktown Workers Club have been fully supportive of the White Ribbon Foundation and what it stands for. Unfortunately Blacktown LGA has one of the highest rates of domestic violence in NSW and thanks to our professional Blacktown Police force and its dedicated officers and organisations such as Blacktown Workers Club we have started to make more people aware of this issue and change attitudes towards it. I was proud to be named an Ambassador for White Ribbon earlier this year as I saw this as an issue that needs to be brought to the attention of everyone so changes and improvements can be made. I regularly discuss White Ribbon at our quarterly Blacktown Liquor Accord meetings of which I am Chairman. This allows all licensed venues in the Blacktown LGA to understand the issues with violence against women in Blacktown. Our staff all proudly wear the White Ribbon on their uniforms throughout they themselves have for White Ribbon.
