Aggression or violence in the care sector: safety first, then aftercare
A serious incident calls for swift action and calm communication. CrisisRadar helps mental health and care organisations to ensure the safety of staff and service users, keep families informed and arrange aftercare.
Wat er gebeurt
A serious incident involving aggression or violence occurs within a mental health or care facility. The situation is tense and may be unsafe for staff and service users. Staff intervene in accordance with established procedures and call in external assistance where necessary. Once the situation is safe, there is a need for calm and clarity. Staff and clients involved need support and aftercare. Family members want to know whether their loved one is all right. Managers, confidential advisers and, if necessary, the police must share a clear and consistent picture of the situation, so that the right people receive the right support at the right time.
