Initiative seeks to protect healthcare facility staffs against assault

NHS Protect, National Police Chiefs’ Council and Crown Prosecution Service partner to promote safety


A new partnership by NHS Protect, the National Police Chiefs’ Council, and the Crown Prosecution Service will work to prevent and respond to incidents of healthcare facility crime, according to an article on the Health Estate Journal website.

The 2014-15 figures for reported physical assaults against NHS staff in England showed that there were 67,864 reported incidents. 

NHS Protect is encouraging NHS organizations to:

• Ensure staff are trained to meet NHS Protect’s conflict resolution training standards to calmly defuse and de-escalate situations

• Take help and advice from NHS Protect’s network of Area Security Management Specialists
