Good point. I hadn't thought enough about this. Wfh is so helpful to parents and others with caring responsibilities, but we all know that dv and emotional abuse has increased massively during lockdown. Theresa May is just saying in an interview on The World At One that for many people work is their safe space and their refuge from the abuse that happens at home, so employers need to think carefully about telling all employees to work from home longer term.
I don't have a lot of time for TM and I don't think she was a good PM, but I was pleased to hear a high profile politician speaking out about dv and abuse. There's so far to go with this, though. People should be able to decide with their employers whether they can/want to work from home without having to factor in whether spending a lot more time with their partner is safe.
