Children of healthcare workers in Jersey have fronted a campaign to protect staff from aggressive, violent and abusive behaviour at work.
Staff reported more than 450 incidents of verbal, physical, racial or sexual abuse so far this year, according to the island’s government.
Its campaign, which includes posters, roadside banners and social media posts, features the children and slogans such as: “My mummy works here. Please keep her safe at work”.
The Minister for Health and Social Services said: “It should go without saying that healthcare workers should be able to go about their work without being subject to unacceptable behaviour from any member of the public.”
