ONUS award Triangle the Gold Standard

Triangle Housing Association is one of the first employers across the province to have been awarded the gold standard by ONUS in relation to their best practice approach to tackling the issue of Domestic Violence in the Workplace.

Over 30 years ago Triangle was established as a provider of housing to women suffering from domestic abuse. Whilst its purpose and mission has evolved over time, the organisation was keen to get involved with the Charter to demonstrate its continued commitment to this cause as well as a supportive work environment for any employee who discloses that they are experiencing domestic abuse.

As part of this commitment, Triangle have worked with ONUS on the development of a workplace policy, training for managers and staff as well as awareness raising initiatives across the workforce. Pictured is Alan Crilly, Director of Finance & Corporate Services and Michelle Burnett, HR Manager receiving the award on behalf of Triangle from Colette Stewart, Business Manager (ONUS) and Adeleine Frew, Chairperson (ONUS).

Triangle were officially recognised at the launch of the ONUS Workplace Charter on Domestic Violence which took place at the University of Ulster, Jordanstown on Tuesday 8th June 2010. Other gold recipients included the Northern Health & Social Care Trust and Newtownabbey Borough Council; there were also a number of other organisations receiving silver and bronze awards.
