Non-urgent advice: AGGRESSIVE AND ABUSIVE BEHAVIOUR
Over the past six months our admin staff have been receiving increasing levels of abuse.
This has now reached an unacceptable level resulting in one of our staff leaving.
We operate a zero tolerance policy to aggressive/abusive behaviour.
Anybody abusing our staff will be removed from our list with no further warning.
Non-urgent advice: DOMESTIC ABUSE
Domestic abuse can take many forms. It’s not just physical abuse, it also includes coercive and controlling behaviour. If you are, or someone you know is experiencing violent, abusive or controlling behaviour, help is available. Controlling behaviour takes away your choices in life and the things that make you, you. It can happen to anyone in an intimate relationship. You don’t need to live with your partner to experience domestic abuse. It’s important to talk to someone if you think you are experiencing domestic abuse. If you’re not ready to report it, you can still seek support. To speak in confidence call Scotland’s Domestic Abuse Helpline on 0800 027 1234. For more info visit safer.scot
