White Ribbon Campaign
White Ribbon Authority
Rushcliffe Borough Council has achieved White Ribbon Accreditation and is committed to working towards eliminating attitudes and behaviours that can lead to violence against women and girls.
The accreditation aligns with White Ribbon UK, the leading charity engaging men and boys to end violence against women and girls in the workplace and local community.
As a White Ribbon Accredited organisation, RBC will deliver a comprehensive multi-year plan to support positive action across the organisation and the wider community.
RBC will ensure its HR policies align with the White Ribbon values and are shared across the organisation, implement staff training, raise awareness through the national campaign, work in collaboration with local partners, explore and utilise funding opportunities and schemes to support victims of abuse.
Specialised training for Housing Options Officers commissioned by Nottinghamshire County Council is also in place as part of the Domestic Abuse Local Partnership Board Action Plan.
The action plan will help to eliminate attitudes and behaviours that lead to violence against women and will provide opportunities to raise awareness and broaden knowledge so that staff and Councillors become positive changemakers.
At a Full Council meeting earlier this year on March 7, a motion was passed to seek re-accreditation as a White Ribbon UK organisation. As a part of the accreditation, the authority has set up a Steering Group of officers from across the Council who are currently working to put together a three-year action plan.
