UNISON have set out a ten point blueprint which is aimed at combating the problem of violence and aggression faced by their members.
Helga Pile, UNISON national officer for social care, said:
“Sadly, being a social worker, or working in social care has become a high risk job. It cannot be right that staff who are working hard, often under difficult circumstances, to keep children and vulnerable adults safe, are coming under regular attacks and abuse.
They call for the first step to be setting up a national register of attacks.
