Family Violence: It’s Your Business (A Workplace Toolkit) is not intended to replace the advice and services of professionals such as counsellors, lawyers or healthcare providers. We have developed the kit based on current research and information about family violence and from the work of the Family Violence and The Workplace Research Team and other leading experts. Any reference to legislation should be considered general in nature and scope. Laws change from time to time.

This guide is offered to employers and others with the understanding that Fredericton Chamber of Commerce and the Workplace Violence Committee, as well as the Public Legal Education and Information Service of New Brunswick who were contracted to prepare the materials, and the authors, editors and contributors are not providing legal or professional advice. Employers using this kit should seek legal advice with respect to specific legal matters.

We hope the information and resources contained in this Toolkit are useful to you. The enclosed “Family Violence Services” fact sheet will help you to locate and consult with professionals providing specific services within New Brunswick.
