Support worker, abuse the shared soloution
This is something that I have wanted to write about for a very long time but really haven’t had the guts to write about it and I know that I bang on about people with disabilities being abused and this is true, but we also need to talk about the flip side of this being, that Support workers do get abused at work as well. I need to put a really important point in here as well that have emotions and I have blowen up at support workers in that past but what is important is how you handle it and what is considered abuse differs from person to person but from a legal perspective it can fall into a couple of different areas. I have taken this from Safe work Australia, and it also documents that home care workers are in a higher risk of abuse. W orkplace violence and aggression can be: · physical assault – such as biting, scratching, hitting, kicking, pushing, grabbing, and throwing objects. · coughing or spitting on someone on purpose · sexual assault
