Lone Working in Councils

A social worker may find themselves in emotionally charged situations that leave them vulnerable, while traffic wardens too frequently face aggression out on the streets. Visiting care staff may be threatened and planning officers may be confronted by angry and aggressive individuals.

The truth is that any lone working in the community may find themselves in a situation which undermines their safety. A study by Community Care also suggests that social workers and care staff are equally as likely to fall victim to attacks during meetings in an office, as they are on home visits.
