New guide launched to protect community care workers from abuse, harassment
Community care workers will soon get better protection from abuse and harassment. A guide will be handed out to organisations next month, with policies and protocols to provide for a safer work environment. The guide was launched at an Agency for Integrated Care event, and is adapted from the Health Ministry's framework to protect healthcare workers.
