A third of nurses working alone in the community have been assaulted or harassed in the last two years according to the Royal College of Nursing (RCN).
Businesses have a legal duty to take all reasonable steps to minimise the risks faced by employees. Peoplesafe is not only a solution to comply with an employer’s legal duty of care, but also ensures staff feels secure and appreciated whilst at work. Last year there were 55,709 reported physical assaults against NHS staff. This number could be even greater if all incidences of abuse were reported.
