Tesco is first supermarket to offer paid ‘safe leave’ for victims of domestic abuse

Tesco has introduced a new policy offering up to three days of paid leave for employees who are victims of domestic abuse. This "safe leave" allows staff to take time off to access support, secure their safety, and take steps to move on with their lives. The move is significant as it shows a major employer prioritizing the well-being of its employees and addressing a serious issue that affects many people.
