Social care survey - Staff must get proper training

WHO would want to be a social care worker in light of today’s survey on the level of violence they encounter in the workplace?

Alarmingly, out of 85 workers quizzed in the study, only four did not experienced work-related violence in the past year.

This is a damning comment on the failure of the system. It is obvious that lack of up-to-date training is mainly to blame for the fact that so many workers have suffered violent assaults by patients under their care.
