What does the data tell us?
- there were small numbers of staff reporting concerns 101 (increased from 72 in 2024)
- the relative likelihood of directly employed staff from a minority ethnic background experiencing harassment, bullying, or abuse from people who use social care, relatives, or the public in the last 12 months ending 24 October 2025 across all posts compared to staff with a White ethnicity is 0.74 (1.61 in 2024) for service users, relatives of the public. Therefore, staff with a Black, Asian and minority ethnic background were relatively less likely to experience harassment, bullying, or abuse from those reporting
- in Adults the likelihood was 0.60, less likely to experience (1.22 in 2024) but Children’s staff were more likely with a relative likelihood of 1.34 (4.25 in 2024)
What have we achieved?
- new incident and accident system from 1 April 2024 now records data however currently only able to report on incidents of violence and aggression by ethnicity
- organisational violence and aggression working group established led by Director of People and Facilities Management
What we are working towards?
- to monitor and senior management to encourage staff through engagement events and regular comms to ensure staff are aware of and supported consistently to report any incidents
- to review incident reports to identify outcomes and any trends and issues
- promotion of the existing process to report concerns ‘I have a concern’ intranet page, while a new/improved reporting method is being developed
- explore training in regard to experiencing and dealing with harassment and abuse related to protected characteristics
- to organise a Team Manager focus group across Children’s and Adults services to understand and explore any issues with reporting incidents
