STAFF TRAIN TO ASSIST VICTIMS OF FAMILY AND SEXUAL VIOLENCE AT WORKPLACE

October 20, 2022

Fifteen Air Niugini staff have completed training last week on how to support victims of family and sexual violence (FSV) within the workplace.

The two-day training conducted by Business Coalition for Women as part of the Bel Isi Program, focused on raising awareness of the issue and equipping volunteers with the knowledge on providing support and protecting those who may be faced with family and sexual violence.

Some areas covered include counselling, legal, welfare, Interim Protection Order(IPO), hospital and accommodation among others.

Air Niugini Chief Executive Officer, Bruce Alabaster said such a training is important as it ensures airline staff who may be faced with violence and suffering can get the support they require through a well-co-ordinated programme of support.
