The Enough Campaign

Enough is the government’s communications campaign to tackle violence against women and girls. It aims to educate the public about what we can all do if we see or suspect various forms of abuse. Even small acts of recognition and support can make a difference.

Posters and guidance leaflets have been produced for staff working in a hospitality venue on how to respond if a customer is a victim of abuse. These are available to download for free below.
