The criteria for becoming a supporter organisation is that you have less than 250 staff and that you can make the following 7 commitments.

1. Encourage all staff to make the White Ribbon Promise to never commit, excuse or remain silent about men’s violence against women.

2. At least one male employee is required to sign up as a White Ribbon Ambassador (or woman Champion if there are no male staff who can undertake this role). If you are an organisation with strategic responsibility, we ask that your Ambassador is a Strategic Leader.

3. Wear a White Ribbon and display it where appropriate – especially around White Ribbon Day, 25th November.

4. Post the ‘White Ribbon Supporter’ badge on your website.

5. Hold at least one awareness and fundraising event, or activity, a year. Many organisations will do this around White Ribbon Day, 25th November.

6. Ensure you have policies or protocols in place if your staff or customers disclose that they are experiencing violence and abuse.

7. Make sure women and girls know where to get help.
