Could anyone advise me where I can get information on violence at work. The occupation under examination is people who work with alcoholics and drug users in a residential and non residential centre i.e. drop in centre. Any advice would be appreciated. I am completing an assignment.
Many Thanks

Most public and health service Trade Unions put out guidance.
UNISON's can be found at:

Suzy Lamplugh Trust, though their emphasis is on the personal safety aspects rather than the violence as such,

Try contacting your local Mental Health Trust as they have specialist units dealing with these people and normally have well proven systems.

Hi Edward,
I would suggest you speak to the Institute for Conflict Management (ICM) on:

0116 260 6961

(Although I am a member of the Institute I have no financial interest in it).

Regards,
Andy

Try searching for information on 'challenging behaviour' rather than violence. I work for a charity which supports people with these behaviour patterns, and it is never refered to as 'violence'.
