Nieuw plan beschermt hulpverleners tegen agressie

A new aggression protocol has been launched by employee and employer organizations in collaboration with Flanders to better protect frontline workers. The protocol introduces updated guidelines for local and provincial authorities on how to manage and respond to incidents of aggression. This initiative was prompted by the tragic death of a social worker in Ghent last year. The aim is to provide clearer procedures and support systems for public service employees who face aggressive behavior in their line of work. The protocol is expected to enhance safety measures and improve the overall working conditions for those in public service roles. It signifies a renewed commitment to addressing the issue of violence against aid workers.

This plan is crucial for ensuring the safety and well-being of essential public service workers who often face challenging and potentially dangerous situations.
