Reporting a violent or aggressive incident at work – a short survey

If you have been a target of violence or aggression here at work – either physically or verbally – we encourage you to always report this via Datix/LERN. We would also recommend that you have reported this to your manager so that colleagues are aware and you can be supported.

As a Trust, we have a commitment to ensure the safety of all our colleagues. We believe that not all attacks are being reported through Datix/LERN so for a trial period we have set up this survey to help us to work out trends so we can work towards helping to protect everyone.

Please do complete this short survey to help us plan:

• Did you suffer an incident of Violence and Aggression at work?
• Date of incident?
• Was it physical or verbal?
• Was it a patient, visitor or member of staff?
• What department was it in?
• Did you complete a LERN?
• What was your reason for reporting/not reporting via a LERN?

We believe that you should report this incident via Datix/LERN. Reporting these incidents are extremely important to us so that we can investigate, learn and action any measures required to help prevent further occurrences of this type of incident in the future. If you need support with this please contact your line manager.
